Just war
Just war : A war deemed to be conducted justly or lawfully (Ns in hello in Latin) and for a just or lawful cause (jus ad helium). The tradition of distinguishing between just and unjust wars goes back to antiquity, was continued by Christian theologians throughout the middle Ages and persists in secular form today. Since the late nineteenth century numerous international humanitarian law treaties outlining prohibited conduct during war have come into force. Humanitarian intervention has, however, forced a reconsideration of rules relating to jus ad bellum
