Just War Theory
Description
The basic problem of warfare is that it involves inflicting death and suffering on people who, in ordinary circumstances, would have fundamental moral protections - often conceived as human rights - against being treated in these ways. Of course, wars are problematic in many other respects, but if the killing cannot be justified, then the rest is irrelevant: our only choice is to affirm pacifism.
