Revisionist just war theory

Last updated

Revisionist just war theory is a development of just war theory that, unlike traditional just war theory, seeks to integrate jus ad bellum and jus in bello , therefore rejecting many traditional beliefs such as moral equality of combatants. [1] [2] Revisionists argue that international law is at best a pragmatic fiction—it lacks deeper moral foundations. [3]
