Ethics and rights are central to the study of security. They have a significant place across a range of security contexts and at a number of scales or frames of analysis, including the individual, organisational, state, and international levels. This workshop brings together projects that explore ethics and rights in a security context, covering a range of subject areas, including nuclear weaponry, the treatment of people at borders, the ending of wars, the notions of digital citizenship and the common good online, the spreading of rumours or misinformation on the internet, and the norms surrounding foreign policy regarding Syria. Through examining approaches to ethics from a variety of perspectives and on a diverse range of topics, participants in this workshop will enhance their understanding of how ethics can facilitate and empower security policy.
