The Just War Theory is a largely Christian philosophy that means war must follow these eight points to be just:

Jus ad bellum- Justice before the war

• approved by a legitimate government
• just cause
• war is a last resort
• benefits of war must exceed evils
• good probablility of sucess

Jus ad bello- Justice during the war

• minimum and proportional use of weaponry
• killing of civilians is banned (non combatant immunity)
• normal relations resume swiftly

The just theory does not work for several reasons:

*old so invalid * unrealistic to achieve all eight * conscientious objectors * bible passages * development of weaponry

Pacifism- believing all war is unjustified and should be avoided 

Refugee- a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution or natural disaster

Conscientious objector- are person who refuses to serve in the armed forces because he or she believes it is morally wrong

WMDS- weapons of mass destruction. 1. Nuclear. 2. Chemical. 3. Biological
