just war theory  

Définition

  • Just war theory is a body of principles developed over centuries that attempt to delineate what justifies the initiation of armed conflict and what rules govern the subsequent conduct of fighting. The contemporary dominant strand of the concept developed from the Western, Judeo-Christian canon, but non-Western philosophies, including Hinduism and Islam, also have rich just war traditions.
