Just War Documents

Just War Documents refer to a collection of writings and principles that outline the moral and ethical considerations surrounding war. They help define when it is justifiable to go to war (jus ad bellum), how to conduct war ethically (jus in bello), and what should be pursued for peace afterward (jus post bellum). These documents emphasize principles like proportionality, discrimination between combatants and non-combatants, and the necessity for a just cause. They aim to ensure that wars are fought for morally sound reasons and that their conduct aligns with humanitarian standards.
