Justice After War is aimed especially to both undergraduate and
graduate students, as well as the general audience who want to
understand the significance of a recent development within the just
war tradition, namely, the increasing attention given to the
category of jus post bellum (postwar justice and peace). While
examining the interrelated challenges of moral and social norms in
both political and legal domains, as well as church practices, this
work proposes an innovative methodology for linking theology,
ethics, and social science so that the ideal and the real can
inform each other in the ethics of war and peacebuilding. The main
task of this project, then, is to identify what the author views as
three key themes of jus post bellum, and three practices that are
essential to implementing jus post bellum immediately after a war:
just policing, just punishment, and just political participation.
David Kwon endeavors to challenge the view of those who suggest
that reconciliation, mainly political reconciliation, is the
foremost ambition of jus post bellum. Instead, he attempts to
justify the proposition that achieving just policing, just
punishment, and just political participation are essential to
building a just peace, a peace in which the fundamental
characteristic must be human security. It thus demonstrates that
human security is an oft-neglected theme in the recent discourse of
moral theologians and that a more balanced understanding of jus
post bellum will direct attention to the elements composing human
security in a postwar context.
