Moral justification for the execution of criminals of war?
#62
RE: Moral justification for the execution of criminals of war?
But according to the OP, the argument doesn't regard the guilt or innocence of your average Tom who is being judged by a jury.

We're talking known war criminals. They value their lives more than those whom their exploiting and killing, which tells me they are undeserving of a right they are denying others.

There are varying degrees of barbarism, after all, and some people don't deserve to live.
