Question 2

What are the two justifications for a "just war"?

Accepted Answer

The concept of a "just war" is rooted in various philosophical, religious, and political traditions that seek to define the conditions under which war can be morally justified. While there are numerous criteria that have been proposed over time, two central justifications often cited for a "just war" are:

1. **Just Cause**: A war is considered just if it is waged for a reason that is morally right and cannot be achieved through less harmful means. Commonly accepted just causes include self-defense against an armed attack, protection of innocent life, and prevention of a serious threat to human rights. The aim is to correct a suffered wrong. For example, if a nation is invaded, it may have a just cause to defend itself and its citizens.

2. **Right Intention**: The intention behind waging a war must be pure and aimed at promoting good or avoiding evil. The primary goal should be to restore a just peace rather than to seek revenge, acquire wealth, or exercise power. The right intention ensures that the war is fought for the sake of the just cause and not for ulterior motives.

These justifications are part of a larger set of criteria that have been developed in the Just War tradition, which also includes considerations such as legitimate authority (only duly constituted public authorities may wage war), last resort (all non-violent options must have been exhausted), probability of success (there must be a reasonable chance of success), proportionality (the anticipated benefits of waging the war must be proportionate to the expected harm), and discrimination (combatants must distinguish between combatants and non-combatants and avoid targeting the latter).

It's important to note that the Just War theory is a framework for ethical reflection and does not provide a clear-cut set of rules that can be mechanically applied to every situation. The application of Just War principles is often subject to interpretation and debate.
