Just war theory exists to stop armies and countries from using
armed force without good cause. But how can we judge whether a war
is just? In this original book, John W. Lango takes some
distinctive approaches to the ethics of armed conflict. . A
revisionist approach that involves generalising traditional just
war principles, so that they are applicable by all sorts of
responsible agents to all forms of armed conflict . A cosmopolitan
approach that features the Security Council . A preventive approach
that emphasises alternatives to armed force, including negotiation,
nonviolent action and peacekeeping missions . A human rights
approach that encompasses not only armed humanitarian intervention
but also armed invasion, armed revolution and all other forms of
armed conflict
Lango shows how these can be applied to all forms of armed
conflict, however large or small: from interstate wars to UN
peacekeeping missions, and from civil wars counter-insurgency and
counter-terrorism operations.
