Can there be any ‘just war’ if we do not document the dead and injured? 
On 17 March 2008, ORG’s Executive Director, John Sloboda, spoke at a conference held at Cumberland Lodge on “Is a Just War Possible?”. The event was designed for people who are professionally engaged in the study of warfare, involved in the operation of war, or active within a peace initiative and was chaired by Sir Stephen Wall. Other speakers included Sir Malcolm Rifkind, Kate Adie, Melanie Phillips and Professor Andrew Rigby. Plenary sessions covered the following: Where the concept of a Just War has come from and where it might be going. Realism and ethics in modern warfare; dilemmas and paradoxes. The media; propaganda, neutrality or criticism? Is pacifism the prevailing morality of our time?. This report is based on the presentation given by John Sloboda on the documentation and recording of every victim of violent conflict.
