Assassinations and targeted killings have been topics vastly debated around the world throughout history. As a matter of fact, this matter can be discussed through the eyes of Michael Walzer from a just war theory perspective. This viewpoint can be used in order to explain just assassinations of political and military leaders as well as other individuals. For example, a person can be the victim of targeted killings if their death would result in less future violence or warfare. However, the individual

In the Christian Tradition, there are instances in which the use of violence is justifiable. Before 313 A.D, Christians have followed the traditional pacifist view to not support the use of violence and the state’s use of war, even if the use of war is to reject tyranny, solve conflict, and advance peace. However, Christian’s attitudes toward violence and war began to change when Constantine issued the Edict of Milan in 313 A.D. With this change in attitude, the Christian just war theory developed

American involvement in humanitarian intervention is one of the most controversial issues in contemporary US foreign policy. The definition of humanitarian intervention is a military intervention; entering into a country for the purposes of saving lives and protecting citizens from the violation of their human rights. As in all debates, there are always two sides. One side disputes that military force should only be applied when, in the words of former Secretary of Defense Weinberger, ‘a vital national

from 2002. The first part of Just War Theory is Jus Ad Bellum—America has a morally righteous cause to go to war because it is motivated by defending civilians. Part of this is that a just war can only be taken by a legitimate authority, most commonly a state. Not only would the United States be a legitimate state, the president will have authorization from congress to start this war, legitimizing a war against ISIS domestically. Another part of jus ad bellum is having a “right intention” that is

The first criteria of Just War Theory is jus ad bellum, the just initiation of a war. Because the US is responding to an attack initiated by ISIS that places American institutions and Americans at harm, they are retaliating with the intention of self defense as opposed to acting out of aggression. This serves as a just cause of war. Additionally, failure to combat ISIS could potentially escalate the boomerang effect, a phenomenon in which citizens of the United States travel to Syria and Iraq and

really was about. The Syria conflict came to my mind and I thought that would be considered the United States intervention was to protect innocent human lives. President Obama’s only problem in justifying a strike against Syria is one that involves jus ad bellum because his choice is not about “how” to fight, but “whether” or “on what authority” to do so. The problem lies in what actually justification will be on what kind of force will be used by the United States in Syria. So, I guess I’m just a

Destruction, displacement, and death are all words associated with any war. With that so is the Just Post Bellum, after war. Just Post Bellum has been the concept that deals with morality of the concluding phase of the war. The objective is to maintain peace and justice after the war is over, which will mitigate any other blow ups that may be forthcoming. Just Post Bellum consists of four principle: just cause, reconciliation, punishment, and restoration. These fundamental areas all aid guidance

The criteria of the Just war theory clearly identify that Fair Treatment of Prisoners must be upheld, No Atrocious Weapons to be used in combat and the War must be Committed for a Just Cause. Jus in Bello, Fair treatment of prisoners is clearly a violated criteria of the Just War Theory. This criteria of the theory states that once captured POW they no longer pose a threat to security and must be given care, they must not be used in the enemy

Testament, this ethical position on war was founded by several Church Fathers, including Augustine of Hippo. According to these and other Just War Theorists, the criteria for using force are regarded as Jus ad Bellum, which is Latin meaning “right to war”. Traditionally, the main principles of Jus ad Bellum are proper authority, just cause, and right intention. Throughout the years, Thomas Aquinas, Darrell Cole, Jean Elshtain, and many others further articulated and formulated their ideas of “just”
