Just War Theory: Rules for Reasons to Fight
Rank order the Principles of Just War in order of importance….1. best reason to go to war…..8. worst reason to go to war. Write in your notebook so you have this as a reference for a future
essay on World War 1 and then WW2.
Explain why you have chosen the most important rules for going to war.
Explain why the bottom three are less important.
Come to class ready to defend your position.
¢A just war can only be waged as a last resort (option) All non-violent options must be exhausted before the use of force can be justified.
¢A war is just only if it is waged by a legitimate authority.(such as the government) Even just causes cannot be served by actions taken by individuals or groups who do not constitute an authority or country.
¢A just war can only be fought to redress a wrong suffered. For example, self-defense against an armed attack is always considered to be a just cause (although the justice of the cause is not sufficient--see point #4). Further, a just war can only be fought with "right" intentions: the only permissible objective of a just war is to redress the injury.
¢A war can only be just if it is fought with a reasonable chance of success. Deaths and injury incurred in a hopeless cause are not morally justifiable.
¢The ultimate goal of a just war is to re-establish peace. More specifically, the peace established after the war must be preferable to the peace that would have prevailed if the war had not been fought.
¢The violence used in the war must be proportional to the injury suffered. States are prohibited from using force not necessary to attain the limited objective of addressing the injury suffered.
¢The weapons used in war must discriminate between combatants and non-combatants. Civilians are never permissible targets of war, and every effort must be taken to avoid killing civilians. The deaths of civilians are justified only if they are unavoidable victims of a deliberate attack on a military target. (37 million combatants died; 7 million civilians died
¢Free others from inequality, slavery, injustice. To Create Independence.
