Nations and the modernization of war and its materials; the theories and doctrines of the past also needed to evolve. The modern Just war theory in composed of two principles: jus ad bellum, the right to conduct war, and jus in bello, the correct conduct within war. Each principle also has its own set of criteria to follow. Jus ad bellum contains six: Just cause, right intention, proper authority and public declaration, last resort, probability of success, and proportionality. (Orend, 2006) Just cause

What is Walzer’s “Theory of Aggression”? According to Michael Wazler, the theory of aggression implies to the ideologies of jus ad bellum as detailed in the international law. He uses domestic correlation as the basis of the theory by explaining how the rules that govern citizens apply to the international community. The rights that apply to the citizens are similar to those of the states. He argues that “Every violation of the territorial integrity or political sovereignty of an independent state

clauses, etc. These rules, outlined in just war theory, are categorized into the breakdown of the different stages of war, jus ad bellum, jus in bello, and jus post bellum. The latter is concerned with the closing stages of war, so that a war is terminated fairly, and the proceedings are executed fairly. In bello rules guide conduct during war, after the initiation of war, and jus ad bellum concerns the rightful initiation and justifications of war. These laws, though quite extensive, rest on interpretations

With large scale wars becoming a thing of the past because of mutually assured destruction and costly wars, proxy wars in unstable states have become more and more common. Beginning in the Cold War with United States’ policies aimed at stopping the spread of communism began a trend of supplying military support for rebels that supported their ideas. This has translated to two large states backing differing sides of a faction in order to facilitate their national goals. For example, the United

There are two types of theories that are related to war. They are: ‘Just War Theory’ and ‘Pacifism’.

Safety During A Just War On September 11, 2001 about 2,996 people died. All from a terrorist attack, an unplanned attack with no war going on at the time. The twin towers collapsing, the attack on the pentagon, and other attacks that day count as destruction to the environment.That’s not the best way to start a just war. A just war should start with a bribe of peace, a way for no one, especially civilians, to be hurt and for no one needed to even fight. For a war to be just before anything happens

throughout all three phases of war: Jus ad Bellum, Jus in Bello, and Jus post Bellum. The first phase of just war, Jus ad Bellum, requires several things to occur prior to going to war. The first and foremost is that there be a Just Cause or an inherent natural right, such as self-defense, to go to war. For example, the U.S. most certainly had a just cause to go to war with Japan based on the surprise attack at Pearl Harbor by Japanese forces.

utilitarian approach, the end justifies the means. Therefore, a nation would not need a just war cause other than having the right intentions and making sure that the war would produce the greatest good for the greatest number of individuals. The notion of jus in bello is to make sure that less evil will come about if the war is fought.
