BITS Hyd C wins the novice finals fighting for the closing government. #nalsariv #novicefinals

[NALSAR IV @nalsarIV]

The champions of NALSAR IV- NLS A with the leader of opposition, Isha Jain being adjudged best speaker in the finals!

[NALSAR IV @nalsarIV]

The Opposition Member's speech was clearly a highlight of the evening! #nalsarIV #FinalShowdown

[NALSAR IV @nalsarIV]

The means don't justify the ends which is why we're okay with absolute liability as a standard. #CO #Finalshowdown

[NALSAR IV @nalsarIV]

"A soldier doesn't not have a gun to his head when he is rapi g someone." The CO accuses the government of straw-manning #CO #nalsariv

[NALSAR IV @nalsarIV]

The last debate of the NALSAR IV comes to an end with strong and well structured arguments from all four teams. #nalsariv #Finalshowdown

[NALSAR IV @nalsarIV]

We are not giving the sovereign immunity, we aim to try both the sovereign and the actor #CO #Whip #nalsarIV #FinalShowdown

[NALSAR IV @nalsarIV]

The punishment doesn't diminish the liability of the sovereign or the General, but also makes the soldiers as culpable for committing crimes

[NALSAR IV @nalsarIV]

The capability of collective action among soldiers increases the likelihood that soldiers together will be deterred. #Whip

[NALSAR IV @nalsarIV]

Rebuttal- the basis of ascribing liability is that for each soldier not being tried for the action as a whole, but for his own actions.

[NALSAR IV @nalsarIV]

It makes sense to disobey the order of the General because the larger order of humanity is greater in a soldier's head. #COWhip

[NALSAR IV @nalsarIV]

The absence of an effective deterrent is problematic in #CO's eyes

[NALSAR IV @nalsarIV]

The last speech for the tournament after a series of great speeches! #COWhip #nalsariv #Finalshowdown

[NALSAR IV @nalsarIV]

Tacit consent of the hegemony that one person perpetrates should then be taken into account and people punished if all acts are equally bad.

[NALSAR IV @nalsarIV]

"Face change but new generals crop up which is why hegemonic hierarchy is what must be targeted" #CGWhip

[NALSAR IV @nalsarIV]

People look at members of the army as men who are loyal to a cause. They are mere pawns in a cause, in an act of war. #CGWhip

[NALSAR IV @nalsarIV]

When people are disproportionately blamed, it leads to greater hegemonising and resurgence of backlash. #CGWhip
