Just War Commission

The Just War Commission is an initiative that explores the ethical and moral principles surrounding warfare. It assesses the conditions under which war can be considered justifiable, such as self-defense or protection of the innocent, while also examining the moral conduct during war, including the treatment of civilians and prisoners. The Commission's goal is to guide policymakers, military leaders, and society in understanding the responsibilities and implications of engaging in armed conflict, promoting peace and justice, and ensuring that actions in war adhere to ethical standards.
