Ethics in War

Ethics in war refers to the moral principles that guide how wars are conducted. It involves balancing the necessity of defending or promoting justice with the responsibility to minimize harm and suffering. This includes ensuring combatants and civilians are treated humanely, avoiding unnecessary destruction, and following agreed-upon rules like the Geneva Conventions. The goal is to conduct warfare in a way that aligns with human dignity, legality, and morality, even amid conflict, seeking to limit the inherent brutality of war whenever possible.
