Throughout human history, scholars, statesmen and military leaders
have attempted to define what constitutes the legitimate use of
armed force by one community against another. Moreover, if force is
to be used, what normative guidelines should govern the conduct of
warfare? Based upon the assumption that armed conflict is a human
enterprise and therefore subject to human limitations, the Western
'just war tradition' represents an attempt to provide these
guidelines. Following on from the success of Hensel's earlier
publication, The Law of Armed Conflict, this volume brings together
an internationally recognized team of scholars to explore the
philosophical and societal foundations of just war tradition. It
relates the principles of jus ad bellum to contemporary issues
confronting the global community and explores the relationship
between the principles of jus in bello and the various principles
embodied in the customary law of armed conflict. Applying an
interdisciplinary approach to analyzing and assessing the links
between just war and the norms of behaviour, the book provides a
valuable contribution to international law, international relations
and national security studies.
