Contents:
Can wars ever be just? The doctrine of just war affirms this question, but considers the legitimate reasons for a ius ad bellum restrictive. Secondly, there is the question of the means and the nature of warfare (ius in bello); Thirdly, the ius post bellum is highlighted, which prevents the vanquished from becoming a victim of excessive punishment (e.g. with regard to international and territorial law as well as art or technology robbery). Since the terrorist attack of 11.9.2001, World Trade Center (New York), the question has been raised as to the extent to which the defense can also apply to a particular value system (instead of a nation; modified Just War Theory). What significance do new forms of war (asymmetrical, cf. H. Münkler) have for the teaching of bellum-iustum? To what extent does a paradigm shift toward the doctrine of just peace make sense.
