We have been threatened with war between nuclear powers — Russia versus United States and proxies — more than once in recent years. This
has been with the aid of propaganda on both sides. Before risking nuclear catastrophe, both sides should be forced to have their propaganda
submitted to independent scrutiny to sift through the factual basis, in line with article 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political
Rights.
Randal Marlin is Adjunct Professor in the Philosophy Department at Carleton University.
He was educated at Princeton University, McGill University, the University of Oxford, the
University of Toronto and the University of Bordeaux where he studied with Jacques Ellul.
His current focus of research activity is communication ethics, in particular the study of
ethical dimensions of persuasion and propaganda. He has published numerous articles on
free speech issues and is active in civil liberties, and is past-president of the Civil Liberties
Association, National Capital Region. His most recent publication is the second edition of
Propaganda and the Ethics of Persuasion. Tim Blackmore, from the University of Western
Ontario, wrote: "Propaganda and the Ethics of Persuasion is a book we need now more
than ever. It is a stand-alone resource for those who don't know anything about
propaganda, want a refresher, or want to see how propaganda has fared in the digital age.
Marlin's clear, strong writing brings home the enormity of propaganda's reach and the
danger it represents to all of us."
