The laws of war consist of specific guidelines that should be followed before declaring a war. These laws consist of five rules to follow by; Just cause which is another way of saying self defense, Pro proportionality which means even if you have a cause you should not go to war if the outcomes are worse than what you set out to accomplish, non- combatant immunity is the rule that we should not fight against unarmed and harmless civilians, treatment for prisoners and last but not least the against

The war you conduct is always evil yet you may sometimes have to conduct it. You have to weigh the evils of war against the good and peace that would be gained from conducting the war. Unlike in jus ad Bellum in jus in Bello, this proportionality must be weighed not on the whole of the war but on each act or event. If the act you perform is much more evil than the likely good that will come out of it then it is disproportionate and not just. Our rules

Once there is an understanding of the “just war" theory there will be a better understanding of how the theory is applied to the book, and it is complex.

In the mind of many interpreters of the Bhagavad Gita, westerners, non-Hindu interpreters, the message

When, if ever, is a war just? People throughout history have tried to define a just war, from Martin Luther, when he said War is not right, even between equal and equal, unless it is fought with such a good conscience that one can say, ‘My neighbor compels and forces me to fight, though I would rather avoid it.’ In that case, it can be called not only war but due protection and self-defense (Scheer).
