Mitigating the tyranny, a moral responsibility" takes basis in
Michael Walzer's description of "The Tyranny of War," where the
political decision makers are the tyrants who send soldiers into
the tyranny. When given the power to make such decisions, they also
have a moral responsibility to mitigate the tyranny. The first part
of the essay explains why the decision makers have this
responsibility, by referring to Michael Walzer's Just War Theory
and the threefold responsibility decision makers have in justifying
their decisions towards the international community - jus ad
bellum, in bello and post bellum. Decision makers should also have
the same responsibility towards their soldiers who are the victims
of their decisions. This Just War Theory is further used to
underscore the complexity of the tyranny and to explain what the
mitigation of this encompasses. Although the military itself has a
responsibility to mitigate the tyranny, the decision makers'
responsibility lies in their awareness of, interest in and focus on
the military and the reality of the tyranny. Their role in the
mitigation of the tyranny is also to ensure the nation's support
and backing of their soldiers, their awareness and acknowledgement
of the soldiers effort and struggles in the threefold tyranny. The
second part of the essay discusses how the contemporary Norwegian
decision makers have allowed this sense of responsibility to
decline, thus not contributing to the mitigation of the tyranny.
Even though Norway is a nation in "deep peace" after the end of the
Cold War, the tyranny for the soldiers are still present through
numerous force commitments in UN and NATO operations.
