Just Cause Doctrine

The Just Cause Doctrine is a legal principle that justifies intervention in a country or the use of force, typically by a government or organization, when there is a significant and morally acceptable reason. It often applies to situations like preventing human rights violations, stopping aggression, or protecting civilians. Essentially, it asserts that using force is legitimate only when there is a compelling reason that outweighs the harm caused by that intervention, aiming to ensure that actions taken are ethical and warranted in response to serious threats or injustices.
