Military and security organisations play a crucial role in maintaining order, protecting national interests, and upholding the rule of law. But they also wield significant power — including the legal use of force. Would you personally be willing to serve in such an organisation? And under what conditions?Join us for a panel discussion that begins with a short introduction outlining why security organisations exist, why they are granted a monopoly on violence, and the strict legal and democratic frameworks they operate within. We will then open the floor for an interactive panel discussion. Expect a lively, critical, but balanced conversation where multiple perspectives are welcome. Whether you are supportive, sceptical, or undecided, your voice matters.Everyone is welcome to attend and participate and we'll provide drinks and snacks to tide you over until dinner! <h4>Speakers</h4>Dario Perfigli is a PhD Candidate at the section Ethics &amp; Philosophy of Science at the faculty of Technology, Policy and Management at Delft University of Technology.
