Political violence is a mechanism of conflict resolution used as much as denigrated. Despite the risk to justify such mechanism, there is a series of socio-political scenarios in which political violence may be justified. Based on the review of different contexts as well as international law applicable in each case, I present some contexts in which political violence could be a probable mechanism to resolve a conflict. This paper is articulated in three sections: some initial considerations in order to delimit the debate and to avoid unnecessary diversions, a presentation of cases and, finally, a general discussion.
