Arthur Ripstein's lectures focus on the two bodies of rules governing war: the ius ad bellum , which regulates resort to armed force, and the ius in bello , which sets forth rules governing the conduct of armed force and applies equally to all parties.

Hathaway, Christopher Kutz, and Jeff McMahan, followed by a response from Ripstein.
