Abstract
Suspected development of advanced biological weapons by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea), despite its status as a party to both the Biological Weapons Convention and other nonproliferation agreements, bears significant implications for both public health and security around the globe. A steady decrease in resources and attention devoted to preparedness for biological attacks or outbreaks since 2001 has exacerbated the vulnerability of the USA and its allies to outbreaks of such pathogens, both from North Korean biological weapons and natural sources. This article assesses several International Humanitarian Law (IHL) issues raised by the prospect of an international armed conflict in which North Korea deploys biological weapons. Historical context is discussed to contextualize the various IHL issues raised by a potential armed conflict, which include United Nations Enforcement actions, anticipatory self-defense, protection of civilians, targeting and proportionality. Preparing for and responding to a potential biological weapons attack by North Korea presents a host of unique challenges for the USA and its allies. An international armed conflict involving the use of such weapons by North Korea against the USA or its allies would be devastating for civilians and military personnel alike. It is thus imperative to understand the IHL issues raised by such a conflict, including circumstances that would warrant pre-emptive use of force by the USA and its allies, the scale and scope of any military response, and the need to protect civilians throughout the Korean peninsula.

This essay discusses how, in this current historical conjuncture of cruelty, insensitivity, greed and technological obsessiveness, radical love, and listening can abide in education and in the global society. It engages these issues in three sections. First, the essay describes and explicates the current milieu in terms of the adoration of money, the paradox between the lack of community and the virtual communication obsession. It also delves into what can be considered the central political issue of our time, that of voluntary subservience. That is, why current corporate neoliberalism and microfascism continue despite efforts to contest them. Second, the essay discusses notions of hope from a critical autobiographical context and the ways in which hope is necessary for a pedagogy of radical love and listening. Third, the essay discusses education within the current context described and the ways in which radical hope, listening and love in critical pedagogy can abide in education and society despite the tremendous forces working against such education and thinking. The essay claims finally that commitment and abiding with criticality is radical love.
