Abstract
It is not uncommon for security practitioners to think that ethics is for secure times only. In times of emergency, the thinking goes, there simply isn’t time to check possible responses against ethical criteria. However, the well-documented unethical excesses of the war on terrorism (domestically and internationally) have instilled a wariness in politicians’ and security practitioners’ conduct and morals that increasingly compel security practitioners not to sideline ethics. The same is aided by our rampant social media culture that, for all its faults, offers unprecedented levels of scrutiny of government policy and conduct. In short, there has never been a better time for pushing a norm of just securitization, one that seeks to regulate the just initiation of securitization, just conduct of securitization, and just termination of securitization. This chapter explains what an ideal of such a norm would look like. But how practicable are these principles in the real world? In order to establish this, the chapter examines three real-world cases: securitization against infectious disease in Canada, securitization against terrorism in the EU and securitization against drought in Cape Town, South Africa, for evidence of the principles of just securitization. <br/><br/>

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
