This work addresses a specific theoretical problem in formal argumentation and deontic logic, likely incremental as it builds on existing semantics.

The paper tackled the problem of defining a semantics for deontic argumentation that supports weak permission, particularly when conflicts between obligations arise, and proposed a new semantics to address this issue.

We address the issue of defining a semantics for deontic argumentation that supports weak permission. Some recent results show that grounded semantics do not support weak permission when there is a conflict between two obligations. We provide a definition of Deontic Argumentation Theory that accounts for weak permission, and we recall the result about grounded semantics. Then, we propose a new semantics that supports weak permission.
