Self-Defense, Resistance, and Suicide: The Taliban Women [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
This chapter concerns what may permissibly be done to resist oppression by those, such as the Taliban women, whose lives are radically restricted, on pain of death for opposition. It first considers whether restrictions on people that need not result in their death or physical harm could justify killing in self-defense, were this necessary to escape captivity. It also considers whether such killing could be permissible as mere resistance when it is not sufficient for escape but suicide is an alternative. Finally, it considers what third parties may do and what they have done to help, and how this bears on having a just cause for war.
