The TheoryThe Theory
In the theory of Just War there are two main terms, these being:
Jus ad Bellum and
Jus in Bello
Jus ad Bellum means ‘when it is right to go
to war’
Jus in Bello means ‘how war should be
fought’
..
Various arguments were put forward that war could be justified. They are as follows:
..
War has to have a ‘legitimate authority’ (Augustine) There has to be a ‘just cause’ (Augustine) There has to be ‘right intention’ (Aquinas)
At this point the whole issue was separated into two categories following problems which arose from both sides of the Second World War, these being that both sides in the conflict claimed
‘legitimate authority’ and the ‘right intention’. The crucial factor thus became clearly establishing exactly what determines a ‘just war’. This is when Jus ad Bellum (when it is right to go
to war) and Jus in Bello (how war should be fought) were introduced. In 1983, Catholic Bishops in America set out the
conditions for Just War, these being:
...
Conditions for Jus ad Bellum
Conditions for Jus in Bello
There must be a just cause War must be declared by a competent and legal authority Comparative justice – the justice of the claims of both sides must be compared There must be a right intention in going to war War must be a last resort There must be a reasonable probability of success There must be reasonable proportion between the injustice suffered and the death and suffering of war
Proportionality (related to last point of Jus ad Bellum)
Discrimination (not to harm non-combatants)

Now to you, me ol’ muckers!Now to you, me ol’ muckers!
In a Vatican statement entitled ‘Gaudium et Spes’, it says that:
‘…any act of war aimed indiscriminately at the
destruction of entire cities or of extensive areas along with their populations is a crime against
God and man himself. It merits unhesitating and unequivocal
condemnation’ (Article 80)
In the context of this statement and what you have learnt about Just War theory,
you have three minutes to work out what the irregularity
is between the text on the right and the Bible quotes
below. Remember that both purport to be Xian.
At the same time we captured and destroyed every town and put everyone to death – men, women and children. We left no survivors (Deuteronomy 2:34)Joshua spared no one, everyone was put to death. This is what the Lord God of Israel has commanded (Joshua 10:40)
