Ethics in a just war
The Just War Theory provides a useful framework for individuals and political groups to use for their discussions of possible wars.The theory is not intended to justify wars but to prevent them, by showing that going to war except in certain limited circumstances is wrong, and thus motivate states to find other ways of resolving conflicts. The principles of a Just War originated with classical Greek and Roman philosophers like Plato and Cicero and were added to by Christian theologians like Augustine and Thomas Aquinas. There are two parts to Just War theory, both with Latin names: Jus ad bellum (the conditions under which the use of military force is justified) and.Jus in bello(How to conduct a war in an ethical manner).
