There is not any other instance of decision-making which is more pivotal and unfortunate than the choice of an authoritative power to go on a war and utilize its military force against its supposed enemies. But in the most obvious cases, these choices are likewise troublesome. Subsequently, the concept of justifiable war should be appropriately assessed and evaluated by the authoritative entities in light of human rights enforcement. The directions regarding the modernized concept of the…

I think that the Trojan war was unjust, there was no reason to start the war in the first place. Wars are supposed to be the last resort of action, only to be fought when there are no other options. Wars also need a valid reason to start. Just because a lady gets kidnapped doesn't mean that the whole country should be put at risk, forcing the men to fight. The biggest reason the war was unjust is that the whole thing was because of the gods. The gods were being unfair to the mortals because they…

In Walter Wink’s article “Beyond Just War and Pacifism” he does not believe war should ever be justified. He gave a helpful understanding for the complexity and opacity of human violence. In a broader view Wink sees a hidden dimension not apart from physical reality and human society but grounded within the social world. Wink calls this hidden reality “The domain of the Powers”. Wink argues that war can never be just because justice requires fairness on both sides and war there could never be…

The Just War theory is a set of educated guidelines for determining justifiable and unjustifiable implementation of tactics during armed conflict. Many Just War theories also attempt to convey how the use of arms might be altered, restrained, made more humane, and ultimately aimed towards establishing lasting peace and justice. The Just War Theory stands by the notion of fighting for peace, that is, when all options are weighed. What makes sense in theory, many times fail when put…

For centuries now, theologians and military researchers, have been studying a theory referred to as “Just War Theory.” The Just War theory itself, gives justification for the reason over war, as well it sets rules and criteria that the war should follow to be considered Just War. Behind the theory is two parts being theoretical and…

Terrorist a Villain or a Hero? War exists, terrorism exists and they will continue. Just War is a doctrine used by nations such as the United States that justifies war. When there are horrendous acts occurring on or by people it can be morally implied to go to war. A war that is deemed as moral is widely supported as a country is fighting for what they believe in. Laurie Calhoun’s perspective is that terrorists also use the Just War Theory. She states that “both parties to every conflict…

It is argued that American involvement in the Vietnam War is not justifiable; they were engaged in the wrong war, at the wrong time in the wrong place. I consider this assessment to be fair and the arguments of Carl N. Degler, Jon Roper and Nigel Cawthrone and others will be discussed in support of this argument. This essay will also elaborate on why I understand this assessment to be fair together with reasons why the involvement of the Americans in the Vietnam War was unjustifiable. America’s…
