	Jus ad bellum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jus ad bellum (Latin for "Law to War"; see also the Just War Theory) are a set of criteria that are consulted before engaging in war, in order to determine whether entering into war is justifiable.
		Jus ad bellum is sometimes considered a part of the laws of war, although the term "laws of war" can also be considered to refer to jus in bello, which concerns whether a war is conducted justly (regardless of whether the initiation of hostilities was just).
		Doctrines concerning the protection of civilians in wartime, or the need for "proportionality" when force is used, are addressed to issues of conduct within a war, but the same doctrines can also shed light on the question of when it is lawful (or unlawful) to go to war in the first place.

		Theorists distinguish between the rules of jus ad bellum and jus in bello.
		The rules of jus ad bellum pertain to the circumstances under which states can acceptably wage war, while the rules of jus in bello serve as guidelines for fighting fairly once war has begun.
		Formulated in international law and recognized by most cultures, the rules of jus ad bellum serve as principles to determine when war and the use of violence are justifiable.

		jus ad bellum law is really a precautionary principle, allowing the use of force only as a last resort and only to a degree proportionate to that which is needed to bring about peace, it provides a framework with greater space for individual and cumulative deliberation than other more structurally-bound approaches.
		jus ad bellum is closely associated with what he terms the “theory of aggression”—that is, that a war is justifiable if it is embarked upon to fight against aggression, to enforce norms or laws against aggression, or to punish aggressors.
		H3: The impact of the principles of jus ad bellum on the probability of the U.S. to employ military force in a Cold War-era intervention is not significantly affected by regional hegemony, structural realist, or ideological conflict considerations.

	Just War Theory [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		In such cases, the ethic of war is considered, or is implicitly held to be, beyond the norms of peaceful ethics and therefore deserving a separate moral realm where "fair is foul and foul is fair" (Shakespeare, Macbeth I.i).
		A third principle can be added to the traditional two, namely the principle of responsibility, which demands an examination of where responsibility lies in war.
		Jus In Bello requires that the agents of war be held responsible for their actions.

		Jus in bello also requires that the agents of war be held responsible for their actions.
		Some just war theorists have added the further stipulation that the foreseeable threat posed to civilian lives be reduced as far as possible and every effort taken to avoid killing them.[16] Most agree that the deaths of civilians are justified only if they are unavoidable victims of a deliberate attack on a military target.
		Just as the jus ad bellum principle of right intention suggests that wars must be fought for limited objectives, the notion of limited war suggests that there must be restraint with regard to the quantity and quality of weaponry used during warfare.[25] First, weapons that do not discriminate between combatants and non-combatants cannot be used.

	Just War theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Just War tradition addresses the morality of the use of force in two parts: when it is right to resort to armed force (the concern of jus ad bellum) and what it is right to do in using such force (the concern of jus in bello).
		Jus post bellum concerns the regulation of the process of terminating war, and the transition from war to peace.
		In modern warfare, proportionality as prescribed in jus in bello can be difficult to achieve, due to the tendency of placing military targets within civilian areas.

		Jus ad Bellum has thus historically allowed for war in order to create or enhance just institutions.
		This Principle of Double Effect attempts to morally sanction unintended, at its clearest unanticipated, noncombatant suffering and death or as the military describes "collateral damage." Thus, the moral repulsiveness of using human shields is a direct reflection of violations of the Principle of Discrimination and the Principle of Double Effect.
		Just War Doctrine is an evolving conceptual framework for adding coherence to myriad facts and values so that humans can formulate warranted moral positions to do that which, in a perfect world, no one would be obligated to do.

		While the criteria applied to jus in bello are not as numerous as those of jus ad bellum, they are just as vital to the attainment of the ultimate goal of any just war (bellum justum)—the establishment of a just peace.
		From war’s inception (jus ad bellum) and throughout its prosecution (jus in bello), the goal of all should be the establishment of a just and lasting peace.
		The post bellum period usually begins with a cease-fire, armistice, or surrender; if the terms and circumstances are just, they may help a former enemy move beyond the devastation of the present to eventual healing and success post bellum.

		Jus (or ius) ad bellum is the title given to the branch of law that defines the legitimate reasons a state may engage in war and focuses on certain criteria that render a war just.
		Jus in bello, by contrast, is the set of laws that come into effect once a war has begun.
		This branch of law relies on customary law, based on recognized practices of war, as well as treaty laws (such as the Hague Regulations of 1899 and 1907), which set out the rules for conduct of hostilities.

	Jus ad Bellum: Law Regulating Resort to Force - Human Rights Magazine, Winter 2003
		Now invoked as a basis for the country to wage war on Iraq, the doctrine is incompatible with international legal constraints on resort to force, traditionally known as jus ad bellum.
		Adopted in the wake of World War II and proclaiming the determination “to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war,” the United Nations Charter (Charter) established a prohibition on the use of force to resolve disputes among states.
		This is true even though expanding the scope of self-defense was not necessary to legitimize the military operations undertaken in Afghanistan in response to the attacks; these are generally acknowledged to fall under the existing right of self-defense.

	Rodger A. Payne's Blog: Jus Intra Belligerans
		Traditionally, Just War Theory is divided into two general categories: jus ad bellum, or the justice of having this conflict at all, and jus in bello, or the justice of its prosecution.
		In my public lectures I added to this mix by examining more deeply than usual one traditional Jus ad bellum criterion: that only a legitimate ruler may declare war.
		So this flavor of Jus demands that the warring party not only be legitimate at the start of the war but remain so throughout.

		Casus belli is a Latin expression from the international law theory of Jus Ad Bellum.
		However formal declarations of war are rare nowadays, and casus belli is now widely used to simply mean a nation's motives for going to war, without reference to any formal documents or proposed means of redress, and sometimes without even implying that these motives are just.
		Adding to the confusion, the term is widely misspelled as causus belli which is translated as "cause of war".
