All things considered. 330 $aJust war theory exists to stop armies and countries from using armed force without good cause. But how do we decide whether a use of armed force is just or unjust? In this original book, John W. Lango takes some distinctive approaches to the ethics of armed conflict. 1. A revisionist approach that involves generalising traditional just war principles, so that responsible agents can apply them to all forms of armed conflict. 2. A cosmopolitan approach that features the Security Council. 3. A preventive approach that emphasises alternatives to armed force, including negotiation, nonviolent action and peacekeeping missions. 4. A human rights approach that encompasses not only armed humanitarian intervention but also armed invasion, armed revolution and all other forms of armed conflict. Using these principles, he discusses issues surrounding just cause, last resort, proportionality and noncombatant immunity. He then applies them to hot topics in international conflicts including drone strikes, no-fly zones, moral dilemmas, deterrence, intelligence, legitimate authority, escalation and peace agreements, drawing on real-world case studies from recent conflicts in countries including Afghanistan, Darfur, Libya and South Sudan. 606 $aJust war doctrine 606 $aWar$xMoral and ethical aspects 610 $aPolitical Science 610 $aBurden of proof (law) 610 $aDeontological ethics 610 $aHuman rights 610 $aMilitary 610 $aMorality 610 $aNon-combatant 610 $aUnited Nations 610 $aUnited Nations Security Council 610 $aWar 615 0$aJust war doctrine. 615 0$aWar$xMoral and ethical aspects. 676 $a172.42 700 $aLango$b John W.$0911677 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996465258203316 996 $aThe ethics of armed conflict$92041528 997 $aUNISA
