'''Just war theory''' (or ''Bellum iustum'') is a [[doctrine]] of [[Ethics#Applied ethics|military ethics]] of [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] philosophical and [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] origin,<ref>http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/war/ The first philosophers of just war were [[Aristotle]] and [[Cicero]], and the first theologians [[Augustine of Hippo|St. Augustine]] and [[St. Thomas Aquinas]]</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iep.utm.edu/j/justwar.htm |title=Just War Theory [The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy&#93; |publisher=Iep.utm.edu |date=2009-02-10 |accessdate=2010-03-16}}</ref> studied by moral [[theologian]]s, [[ethicist]]s and international [[policy maker]]s, which holds that a [[War|conflict]] ought to meet [[philosophy|philosophical]], [[religion|religious]] or [[politics|political]] criteria.

==Origins==

The concept of justification for war under certain conditions goes back at least to [[Cicero]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/ethics/war/just/introduction.shtml |title=Religion & Ethics - Just War Theory - introduction |publisher=BBC |date= |accessdate=2010-03-16}}</ref> However its importance is connected to Christian medieval theory beginning from [[Augustine of Hippo]]<ref>[http://olympia.anglican.org/churches/B/stdunstan/Beliefs/Christians_War/Christians_War_2.htm Christians and War: Augustine of Hippo and the "Just War Theory"]{{dead link|date=March 2010}}</ref> and [[Thomas Aquinas]].<ref>[http://olympia.anglican.org/churches/B/stdunstan/Beliefs/Christians_War/Christians_War_3.htm Christians and War: Thomas Aquinas refines the "Just War" Theory]{{dead link|date=March 2010}}</ref> The first work dedicated specifically to it was ''De bellis justis'' of [[Stanisław of Skarbimierz]], who justified war of the [[Kingdom of Poland (1385–1569)|Kingdom of Poland]] with [[Teutonic Knights]]. [[Francisco de Vitoria]] criticized the conquest of America by the [[Kingdom of Spain]]. With [[Alberico Gentili]] and [[Hugo Grotius]] just war theory was replaced by [[international law]] theory, codified as a set of rules, which today still encompass the points commonly debated, with some modifications.<ref>[[Gutman]] R, Rieff D. ''[[Crimes of War]]: What the Public Should Know''. New York, NY: [[W. W. Norton & Company]]; 1999</ref> The importance of the theory of just war faded with revival of [[classical republicanism]] beginning with works of [[Thomas Hobbes]].

The Just War theory is an authoritative Catholic Church teaching confirmed by the United States Catholic Bishops in their pastoral letter, ''[[The Challenge of Peace: God's Promise and Our Response]]'', issued in 1983. More recently, the ''[[Catechism of the Catholic Church]]'', in paragraph 2309, lists four strict conditions for "legitimate defense by military force":
* the damage inflicted by the aggressor on the nation or community of nations must be lasting, grave, and certain;
* all other means of putting an end to it must have been shown to be impractical or ineffective;
* there must be serious prospects of success;
* the use of arms must not produce evils and disorders graver than the evil to be eliminated. The power as well as the precision of modern means of destruction weighs very heavily in evaluating this condition.

While Nicholas Adams claims such views have a long tradition, critics claim the application of Just War is only [[relativism|relativistic]], and directly contradicts more [[universality (philosophy)|universal philosophical]] traditions such as the [[Ethic of reciprocity]].{{Citation needed|date=February 2007}}

Just War theorists combine both a moral abhorrence towards war with a readiness to accept that war may sometimes be necessary. The criteria of the just war tradition act as an aid to determining whether resorting to arms is morally permissible. Just War theories are attempts "to distinguish between justifiable and unjustifiable uses of organized armed forces"; they attempt "to conceive of how the use of arms might be restrained, made more humane, and ultimately directed towards the aim of establishing lasting [[peace]] and [[justice]]."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.justwartheory.com |title=JustWarTheory.com |publisher=JustWarTheory.com |date= |accessdate=2010-03-16}}</ref>

The Just War tradition addresses the morality of the use of force in two parts: when it is right to resort to armed force (the concern of ''[[jus ad bellum]]'') and what is acceptable in using such force (the concern of ''[[jus in bello]]'').<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eppc.org/publications/pubID.1998/pub_detail.asp |title=Home > Publications > |publisher=Eppc.org |date=1998-09-01 |accessdate=2010-03-16}}</ref> In more recent years, a third category — ''[[jus post bellum]]'' — has been added, which governs the justice of war termination and peace agreements, as well as the prosecution of war criminals.

Anarcho-capitalist scholar [[Murray Rothbard]] stated, "a just war exists when a people tries to ward off the threat of coercive domination by another people, or to overthrow an already-existing domination. A war is unjust, on the other hand, when a people try to impose domination on another people, or try to retain an already existing coercive rule over them."<ref>[http://www.lewrockwell.com/rothbard/rothbard20.html] This article is based on the talk given by the late Murray N. Rothbard at the Mises Institute’s Costs of War conference in Atlanta, May 1994. It was published in the book of the same name.

Jonathan Riley Smith writes,
<blockquote>
The consensus among Christians on the use of violence has changed radically since the crusades were fought. The just war theory prevailing for most of the last two centuries — that violence is an evil which can in certain situations be condoned as the lesser of evils — is relatively young. Although it has inherited some elements (the criteria of legitimate authority, just cause, right intention) from the older war theory that first evolved around A.D. 400, it has rejected two premises that underpinned all medieval just wars, including crusades: first, that violence could be employed on behalf of Christ's intentions for mankind and could even be directly authorized by him; and second, that it was a morally neutral force which drew whatever ethical coloring it had from the intentions of the perpetrators. <ref>{{cite web |title=Rethinking the Crusades |publisher=Catholic Education Resource Center |first=Jonathan R. |last=Smith |url=http://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/history/world/wh0042.html}}</ref>

==Criteria of Just War theory==
[[File:IBelieveintheSwordandAlmightyGod.jpg|thumb|right|''I Believe in the Sword and Almighty God'' (1914) by [[Boardman Robinson]].]]
Just War Theory has two sets of criteria. The first establishing ''jus ad bellum'', the right to go to war; the second establishing ''jus in bello'', right conduct within war.<ref name=Childress>{{Cite journal | author = Childress, James F. | title = Just-War Theories: The Bases, Interrelations, Priorities, and Functions of Their Criteria | journal = Theological Studies | volume = 39 | year = 1978 | pages = 427–45 | authorlink = James Childress }}</ref>

===''Jus ad bellum''===
{{Main|Jus ad bellum}}
;Just cause: The reason for going to war needs to be just and cannot therefore be solely for recapturing things taken or punishing people who have done wrong; innocent life must be in imminent danger and intervention must be to protect life. A contemporary view of just cause was expressed in 1993 when the US Catholic Conference said: ''"Force may be used only to correct a grave, public evil, i.e., aggression or massive violation of the basic human rights of whole populations."''
;Comparative justice: While there may be rights and wrongs on all sides of a conflict, to overcome the presumption against the use of force, the injustice suffered by one party must significantly outweigh that suffered by the other. Some theorists such as [[Brian Orend]] omit this term, seeing it as fertile ground for exploitation by bellicose regimes.
;Competent authority: Only duly constituted public [[authorities]] may wage war. "A just war must be initiated by a political authority within a political system that allows distinctions of justice. Dictatorships (i.e. Hitler's Regime) or a deceptive military actions (i.e. the 1968 US bombing of Cambodia) are typically considered as violations of this criterion. The importance of this condition is key. Plainly, we cannot have a genuine process of judging a just war within a system that represses the process of genuine justice. A just war must be initiated by a political authority within a political system that allows distinctions of justice".<[http://oregonstate.edu/instruct/phl201/modules/just_war_theory/criteria_intro.html]>
;Right intention: Force may be used only in a truly just cause and solely for that purpose—correcting a suffered wrong is considered a right intention, while material gain or maintaining economies is not.
;Probability of success: Arms may not be used in a futile cause or in a case where disproportionate measures are required to achieve success;
;Last resort: Force may be used only after all peaceful and viable alternatives have been seriously tried and exhausted or are clearly not practical. It may be clear that the other side is using negotiations as a delaying tactic and will not make meaningful concessions.
;Proportionality: The anticipated benefits of waging a war must be proportionate to its expected evils or harms. This principle is also known as the principle of macro-proportionality, so as to distinguish it from the ''jus in bello'' principle of proportionality.

In modern terms, just war is waged in terms of self-defense, or in defense of another (with sufficient evidence).

===''Jus in bello''===
Once war has begun, just war theory (''Jus in bello'') also directs how [[combatant]]s are to act or should act:

;[[Distinction (law)|Distinction]]: Just war conduct should be governed by the principle of distinction. The acts of war should be directed towards enemy combatants, and not towards [[non-combatant]]s caught in circumstances they did not create. The prohibited acts include bombing civilian residential areas that include no military target and committing acts of terrorism or reprisal against civilians.

;[[Proportionality (law)#International law|Proportionality]]: Just war conduct should be governed by the principle of proportionality. An attack cannot be launched on a military objective in the knowledge that the incidental civilian injuries would be clearly excessive in relation to the anticipated military advantage (principle of proportionality).

;[[Military necessity]]: Just war conduct should be governed by the principle of minimum force. An attack or action must be intended to help in the military defeat of the enemy, it must be an attack on a military objective, and the harm caused to civilians or civilian property must be proportional and not excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated. This principle is meant to limit excessive and unnecessary death and destruction.

;[[Fair treatment of prisoners of War]]: Enemy soldiers who surrendered or who are captured no longer pose a threat. It is therefore wrong to torture them or otherwise mistreat them.

;[[No means malum in se]]: Soldiers may not use weapons or other methods of warfare which are considered as evil, such as mass rape, forcing soldiers to fight against their own side or using weapons whose effects cannot be controlled (e.g. nuclear weapons).

==Examples==
The Catholic Church in the US were in support of both [[World War I]] and [[World War II]]. In April 1917, two weeks after President [[Woodrow Wilson]] declared war on Germany, Cardinal [[James Gibbons]] of Baltimore, the de facto head of the U.S. Catholic church, issued a letter that all Catholics were to support the war.<ref name=NCR>{{cite web|title=Ben Salmon and the Army of Peace |url=http://ncronline.org/blogs/road-peace/ben-salmon-and-army-peace |publisher=''[[National Catholic Reporter]]'' |author=John Dear |date=February 23, 2010}}</ref> As an example of the position US Catholic bishops took to the war against Germany, here is a quote from [[William Manning (Bishop of New York)|William Manning]]:

{{quote|Our Lord Jesus Christ does not stand for peace at any price...Every true American would rather see this land face war than see her flag lowered in dishonor...I wish to say that, not only from the standpoint of a citizen, but from the standpoint of a minister of religion...I believe there is nothing that would be of such great practical benefit to us as universal military training for the men of our land.}}

{{quote|If by Pacifism is meant the teaching that the use of force is never justifiable, then, however well meant, it is mistaken, and it is hurtful to the life of our country. And the Pacifism which takes the position that because war is evil, therefore all who engage in war, whether for offense or defense, are equally blameworthy, and to be condemned, is not only unreasonable, it is inexcusably unjust.<ref>{{cite book|title=A History of the Parish of Trinity Church in the City of New York: The rectorship of Dr. William Thomas Manning 1908 to 1921|author=C. T. Bridgeman|date=1962|page=256}}</ref>}}

==Ending a war: ''Jus post bellum''==
In recent years, some theorists, such as [[Gary Bass]], [[Louis Iasiello]] and [[Brian Orend]], have proposed a third category within Just War theory. ''[[Jus post bellum]]'' concerns justice after a war, including [[peace treaties]], [[Postwar reconstruction|reconstruction]], [[war crimes]] trials, and [[war reparations]]. Orend, for instance, proposes the following principles:

;Just cause for termination:A state may terminate a war if there has been a reasonable vindication of the rights that were violated in the first place, and if the aggressor is willing to negotiate the terms of surrender. These terms of surrender include a formal apology, compensations, war crimes trials and perhaps rehabilitation. Alternatively, a state may end a war if it becomes clear that any just goals of the war cannot be reached at all or cannot be reached without using excessive force.
;Right intention:A state must only terminate a war under the conditions agreed upon in the above criteria. Revenge is not permitted. The victor state must also be willing to apply the same level of objectivity and investigation into any war crimes its armed forces may have committed.
;Public declaration and authority:The terms of peace must be made by a legitimate authority, and the terms must be accepted by a legitimate authority.
;Discrimination:The victor state is to differentiate between political and military leaders, and combatants and civilians. Punitive measures are to be limited to those directly responsible for the conflict. [[Truth and Reconciliation Commission (South Africa)|Truth and reconciliation]] may sometimes be more important than punishing war crimes.
;Proportionality:Any terms of surrender must be proportional to the rights that were initially violated. Draconian measures, absolutionist crusades and any attempt at denying the surrendered country the right to participate in the world community are not permitted.

==Alternative theories==
* [[Militarism]] - Militarism is the belief that war is not inherently bad but can be a beneficial aspect of society.
* [[Realism in international relations|Realism]] - The core proposition of realism is a skepticism as to whether moral concepts such as justice can be applied to the conduct of international affairs. Proponents of realism believe that moral concepts should never prescribe, nor circumscribe, a state's behaviour. Instead, a state should place an emphasis on state security and self-interest. One form of realism - descriptive realism - proposes that states cannot act morally, while another form - prescriptive realism - argues that the motivating factor for a state is self-interest. Just wars that violate Just Wars principles effectively constitute a branch of realism.
* [[Revolution]] and [[civil war|Civil War]] - Just War Theory states that a just war must have just authority. To the extent that this is interpreted as a legitimate government, this leaves little room for revolutionary war or civil war, in which an illegitimate entity may declare war for reasons that fit the remaining criteria of Just War Theory. This is less of a problem if the "just authority" is widely interpreted as "the will of the people" or similar. Article 3 of the 1949 [[Geneva Conventions]] side-steps this issue by stating that if one of the parties to a civil war is a High Contracting Party (in practice, the state recognised by the international community,) both Parties to the conflict are bound "as a minimum, the following [humanitarian] provisions." Article 4 of the [[Third Geneva Convention]] also makes clear that the treatment of prisoners of war is binding on both parties even when captured soldiers have an "allegiance to a government or an authority not recognized by the Detaining Power."
* [[Nonviolent action|Nonviolent struggle]] - The "just war" criterion of "last resort" requires believers to look for alternative means of conflict. The methods of nonviolent action permit the waging of political struggle without resort to violence. Historical evidence and political theory can be examined to determine whether nonviolent struggle can be expected to be effective in future conflicts. If nonviolent action is determined effective, then the requirements for "just war" are not met.<ref>[http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2065/is_n2_v48/ai_18310385/print?tag=artBody;col1 Sharp, Gene], "Beyond just war and pacifism: nonviolent struggle toward justice, freedom and peace" Ecumenical Review, April, 1996.</ref>
* [[Moral absolutism|Absolutism]] - Absolutism holds that there are various ethical rules that are absolute. Breaking such moral rules is never legitimate and therefore is always unjustifiable.
* [[Pacifism]] - Pacifism is the belief that war of any kind is morally unacceptable and/or pragmatically not worth the cost. Pacifists extend humanitarian concern not just to enemy civilians but also to combatants, especially conscripts. Just War critics have included [[Ben Salmon]], who was sentenced to death during World War I (later revised to 25 years hard labor) for desertion and spreading propaganda.<ref>{{Cite journal| author = Staff of the Catholic Peace Fellowship| year= 2007| month=| title=''The Life and Witness of Ben Salmon''| journal = Sign of Peace | volume = 6.1| issue = Spring 2007| pages =| id =| url = http://www.catholicpeacefellowship.org/nextpage.asp?m=2524}}</ref>
* [[Right of self-defence]] - The theory of self-defence based on [[rational self-interest]] maintains that the use of retaliatory force is justified against repressive nations that break the [[zero aggression principle]]. In addition, if a free country is itself subject to foreign aggression, it is morally imperative for that nation to defend itself and its citizens by whatever means necessary. Thus, any means to achieve a swift and complete victory over the enemy is imperative. This view is prominently held by [[Objectivism (Ayn Rand)|Objectivists]].<ref>[http://www.theobjectivestandard.com/issues/2006-spring/just-war-theory.asp "'Just War Theory'" vs. American Self-Defence], by [[Yaron Brook]] and [[Alex Epstein]]</ref>
* [[Consequentialism]] - The moral theory most frequently summarized in the words "the end justifies the means," which tends to support the just war theory (unless the just war causes less beneficial means to become necessary, which further requires worst actions for self-defense with bad consequences).
