Igba Ogbole: Interrogating the legality of increasing calls for self-defence Published Black’s Law Dictionary, edited by Bryan Garner, defines Self-Defence as the use of force to protect oneself, one’s family or one’s property from real or threatened attack. Just as the right to life is globally accepted as fundamental, the right to self-preservation is a law of nature. Self-preservation, of which self-defence is a natural component, is a concept that is an intrinsic part of not just humanity but even animals; and nations of the world recognise this. Thomas Hobbes, the seventeenth century thinker and one of the founding fathers of modern political philosophy, in his work, The Leviathan, argues that subjects can retain their natural right to self-preservation, and that this right is inalienable, and cannot be transferred to the sovereign, no matter the circumstance.
