warfare ethics
Warfare ethics refers to the moral principles that govern the conduct of armed conflict. It seeks to establish guidelines on how to engage in war justly, focusing on the distinction between combatants and non-combatants, proportionality of force, and the necessity of military actions. These principles aim to minimize suffering and destruction during conflicts.
Key frameworks in warfare ethics include Just War Theory, which outlines conditions for justifiable war, and International Humanitarian Law, which sets rules for the treatment of individuals during war. These frameworks help ensure that even in conflict, ethical considerations guide military actions and decisions.
