Place Joannès Ambre
Lyon 4ème
Meeting organized with the Théâtre de la Croix-Rousse and the Lyon Opéra in the context of the cycle on "Les causes communes. Justice/Injustice."
Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Ivory Coast, etc. International military forces have intervened in numerous conflicts, but what can be said for the legitimacy of such intervention? How is it decided and in the name of what values? Should the right to interfere preempt national sovereignty? Can humanitarianism justify violence?
Meeting moderated by Gilles Paris, journalist at Le Monde and Marc Semo, journalist at Libération.
