▼ Controversies on how best to deal with other groups of people, especially aggressive ones, have surely been with us nearly as long as people have been forming groups, and modern advances, both political and technological, have only complicated these matters. That moral agents must give some thought to our moral responsibility in this arena is a given, but what form such reasoning will take is not. Over time, a number of traditions regarding war have emerged, ranging from categorical rejection (pacifism) to a limited acceptance (just war tradition) to an enthusiastic acceptance (crusading tradition); others ultimately reject the notion that war is subject to moral strictures at all (realism). As a first step to evaluating these views, I will work to more precisely define each, especially the two most popularly espoused (pacifism and just war theory), by way of a survey of their histories and scope. Building on this groundwork, I will then show how all four traditions relate to one another, by situating them along a continuum, arguing in particular that just war theory and pacifism have far more in common than most realize. In the course of laying out this continuum, I will also show that the only coherent way to characterize these traditions is with reference to non-consequentialist moral reasoning. I will then argue that pacifism and just war tradition, given their underlying principles, are morally preferable to the alternatives, and more specifically, that a strong form of pacifism (that takes active responsibility for nonviolently combating injustice), and a strict form of just war (that is willing forego war when it is unjust), are morally superior to other forms. Of the two, I will ultimately make the case for the former, while nonetheless showing why a dualist approach that accepts both is most appropriate for this moral domain.

▼ According to just war theory, there are a number of conditions that must be met in order for it to be morally permissible for a state or other political community to resort to war. Likewise, there are conditions on the permissible use of force by combatants in war. The conditions offered by just war theory are, at least for the most part, intuitive and plausible. Yet there are a number of problems that arise when we try to find precise statements of these conditions; or when we try to say, in a particular case, whether these conditions have been met. The following papers examine some of these problems. “Just Cause and Justification” discusses the idea of a just cause for war, as well as the relationship between just cause and justification. It begins by presenting an account of just cause and arguing that it has been the historically dominant account, from the Roman foundations of the just war tradition until the present day. It then presents several cases in which it seems that war can be justified despite there being no just cause — or, more accurately, despite the fact that the historically dominant account seems to entail that there is no just cause. Finally, the paper considers several possible ways of responding to this fact. Most of these possibilities are either inadequate or would represent a significant departure from the mainstream of the just war tradition. The most adequate and least revisionary response is based on the controversial claim that an individual can be liable to harm in virtue of posing a threat of unjustified harm to others, even if they are not responsible for posing such a threat. “The Responsibility Dilemma and the Relevance of Intentions” considers a challenge posed by Seth Lazar for Jeff McMahan’s influential account of permissible killing in war. McMahan rejects the common claim that combatants on both sides of a war may permissibly kill their enemies. For according to McMahan, posing a threat to another is not sufficient for being liable to harm. Rather, liability to harm is grounded in responsibility for a threat of unjustified harm. According to Lazar, when it comes to responsibility for threats of unjustified harm, many civilians are as responsible as many unjust combatants. So if liability is grounded in responsibility for such threats, as McMahan claims, then either (i) unjust civilians are rarely liable to be killed but many unjust combatants are not liable to be killed either, or (ii) nearly all unjust combatants are liable to be killed but so are many unjust civilians. Hence Lazar contends that McMahan has inadvertently committed himself to either pacifism or total war — that is, to either rejecting the existence of justified wars or else embracing indiscriminate attacks upon civilian populations. I develop a particular response to Lazar’s argument. This response accepts that many unjust combatants are not liable to be killed, but it denies that the intentional killing of non-liable unjust combatants infringes the moral constraint on intentionally harming the innocent.

▼ The task of discrimination in war is a non-static phenomenon. It changes with the character of war, which itself changes with developments in cultures, international relations, how states organise for war, innovations in doctrines, technologies and tactics etc. Fundamental changes to war's character necessitate some moral revision, and modern asymmetric conflict (MAC) is the latest fundamental change. MAC is characterised by forces from developed countries fighting unconventional, often non-state adversaries that flout moral and legal norms, and deliberately exploit immoral, unlawful and repugnant tactics. My analysis of the relevant ethics of Paul Ramsey, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops and James Turner Johnson - which, respectively, treats the form of war most similar to MAC, addresses an earlier fundamental change in the character of war, and comprises an important assessment of MAC - as well as touching on other Christian and secular contributions, discerns that there is insufficient Christian moral guidance to address the questions raised about discrimination in MAC. Thinking out of Christian just-war tradition, I focus on the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) network to expose novel ethical issues concerning discrimination in MAC. I argue that by not revealing their combatant status, those enabling the prosecution of IED attacks, and by extension broader combat functions, should lose or at least jeopardise any absolute non-combatant immunity. I then proceed to explain how conventional forces can discriminate morally, while their irregular and less scrupulous adversaries do not. This includes enhancing the rule of double effect by exploiting predictive analytics; overcoming the enemy's erosion of non-combatant immunity and the inviolability of national borders; empowering soldiers to act discriminately through a simple, moral foundation; equalising the legal accountability of the opposing forces, rather than unfairly pursuing soldiers only from developed countries; and, finally, establishing a level of military supererogation that reflects this new form of conflict, where minimising civilian casualties is a key measure of success.

▼ This study examines the inconsistencies and limitations present within the just war tradition and the potential for just peace to provide supplementary advice in conflict discourse. In light of historical evidence that suggests a disproportionate influence of politics, economics, and power on the moral guidance of just war, this study demonstrates how the contemporary tradition remains inconsistent both in terms of its relationship with power and relative to the base definition of last resort. Contrasting experiences of moral development in the United States and Europe, particularly surrounding religious and nationalist expressions of violence, contextualise the modern inconsistencies found within just war thought and are evidence of the significant limitations in the use of the tradition. The United States asserts a moral permissibility around the use of force as a tool of statecraft derived from foundational references of American exceptionalism. Conversely, the European continent has experienced confessional and nationalist violence that has broadly motivated the exhaustion of non-military means before enacting violent measures. As demonstrated in the 2002-2003 Iraq invasion debate, the current framework of the international community lacks stringent mechanisms for the prevention of unilateral uses of force. If moral wisdom fails to persuade unity among political actors and a state self-proclaims a possession of justice under the just war criteria, both international law and the tradition lack the means to prevent the use of force by such a state. This is particularly the case if said state is a Permanent Member of the Security Council, as evidenced during the Iraq invasion debate. The differing moral experiences surrounding the use of force among western actors prevented a unity in vision, particularly among arguments relative to just cause and last resort. Ultimately, this study promotes just peacemaking as a supplementary moral paradigm to that of just war due to the presence of just peace practices within the historical record of successful conflict resolution processes. The alternative means of coercion found within just peacemaking illuminate a path to conflict resolution during periods when the practitioners of the just war tradition have reached an unreconcilable division of views.

▼ The moral reasons we have to kill some people and not others in service to morally important outcomes – like winning a just war – are the central concern of this thesis. The three papers that comprise this thesis argue that reductive moral reasons – reasons derived from the ethics of individual self and other defense – apply in war and should figure in the individual and joint deliberation of soldiers when they decide whom they ought morally to kill. The focus on reductive moral reasons also aims to explain and defend “revisionist” just war theory and the philosophical methodology underpinning it known as “reductivism.” The explanations and defense respond to some familiar criticisms of revisionist just war theory. Each paper also defends a central idea of revisionist just war theory and reductive individualism. That is, that the morally best option in collectivized war is the morally best option in other contexts: distribution of unavoidable harms to those who bear the most responsibility for the circumstances in which those harms arise. The first paper defends revisionist just war theory and reductive individualism from the charge that it discounts the collective and political nature of war. First, it argues that any appeal to collective action tacitly appeals to individual morality in order to square with our intuitions about intentional defensive killing. Second, it argues that moral reasons derived from political self-determination either do not matter in war, or will not matter enough to override those reasons we can derive from the distribution of unavoidable harms to those who bear the most responsibility for the circumstances in which those harms arise. The second paper defends the relevance of revisionist just war theory to the way soldiers and armies fight. The paper does this by demonstrating that reductive individualism is the best way to account for the fact that soldiers kill in war to communicate reasons for action to their enemies. The final paper defends the relevance of revisionist just war theory to moral deliberation under the conditions of uncertainty. The paper develops an expanded understanding of the necessity constraint and adapts the comparative dimension of liability to a decision theoretic approach to acting under the conditions of uncertainty.

▼ In Kant's critical system, war plays a dual role as a catalyst for cultural development and as a moral evil to be overcome. In this thesis, I explore the geopolitical language of domain and territory used in Kant's third critique to explore the function of war in the development of practical reason. The geopolitical metaphors provide a helpful perspective for interpreting the dual nature of war in Kant's historical and political essays. In an immature state, humanity relied on the authority of violence to settle disputes. As humanity gradually develops its rational capacities, the authority of violence is replaced with the authority of reason. Kant's metaphor locates this gradual development in the domain of reason and the territory of nature. War is purposive in its ability to drive humanity from the state of nature towards the development of capacities for lawfulness. Violence that leads to lawfulness begins the process of claiming the territory of nature for the domain practical reason. This process of annexing the territory of nature for reason gradually perfects our rational capacities along the path towards the creation of a cosmopolitan moral kingdom. Kant's teleology of war is then a history of reason's capacity to replace violence as the authority for the realization of an unconditioned state. Reflective judgment imposes a moral purposiveness on war and orients reason's demand as it forms a peaceful juridical cosmopolis. Kant’s hope is that his age of enlightenment is a moment where human culture is mature enough to allow scholars the freedom to exchange their ideas with the entire world and begin the process of phasing out violence amongst states. This process of war’s demise is facilitated by the free and open debate amongst scholars of war and peace with the world of readers. Public debate on the political adherence to the demands of reason and the creation of lawfulness among states map the path to end war in Kant’s critical system.

This dissertation will examine the dangers created by governmental entities that possess or seek to possess weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), for possible use against other states. In order to counter such a threat, traditional notions of anticipatory self-defense such as preemption might prove ineffective as the deployment of WMDs can be carried out in a matter of minutes. As a result of this, some jurists and politicians have called for the broadening of anticipatory self-defense to include preventive force. While the use of preemptive force has been recognized as a legitimate form of selfdefense, such recognition has not been extended to the use of preventive force. This research attempts to answer the following questions: Under what circumstances can preventive force be used against a target state that develops WMDs with the alleged intention to use them? And what procedures would ensure that preventive force is used in a manner that minimizes the possibility of abuse by the state claiming to exercise its right of self-defense? The dissertation will propose a normative framework that will define the scope of the lawful use of preventive force when a state is claiming to be using such force against another state as an exercise of self-defense. The proposed legal framework takes into consideration both recent legal developments as well as relevant instances of state practice in order to circumscribe the use of preventive force to clearly defined cases. The determination of the legality of a preventive strike should be made by the United Nations Security Council. The Security Council would be presented with a proposed preventive strike by a state making the allegation that the strike is necessary to stop another state from developing WMDs that would be used against it in the future. In order to secure an approval for the preventive strike, the “preventor” state would have to show compelling reasons, such as the target state’s prior bad actions, as to why such a strike is necessary.

▼ This doctoral thesis addresses questions in contemporary just war theory about the relationship between a combatant’s moral liability to be killed and an opposing combatant’s moral permission, justification, or obligation to kill her. It is a thesis by four relatively independent but thematically interrelated papers. Following a brief integrative chapter, each substantive paper addresses a different question in contemporary just war theory, and each relates, to one degree or another, to a combatant’s liability to be killed in war. Just War Traditions and Revisions. In this paper I distinguish between exceptionalist-collectivist and reductivist-individualist approaches to just war theory. I argue against the former and for the latter by appeal to a number of real-world cases. Ultimately, I argue that on a reductivist-individualist account, the set of liable persons and the set of military members who fight an unjust war overlap to a greater degree than might first appear. Duty Killing and a New Moral Equality of Combatants. In this paper, I argue that one does not become liable to defensive harm if one is epistemically justified in believing that one acts on a moral obligation. By extension, even on a responsibility account of liability, combatants on both the just side and the unjust side of a war might remain immune to attack and therefore be morally equivalent. Continuing Threats in War. By “continuing threat,” I mean one in which an unjust attacker both continuously harms and continuously threatens to harm a victim. According to this definition, victims of kidnapping, hostages, and those unjustly imprisoned are, all else equal, victims of continuing threats of harm. I argue that war consists of, inter alia, continuing threats of harm and threats of this kind can have a decisive effect on the proportionality calculus and therefore on liability to harm. Reasons Not to Kill in War. The language of rights can provide only an incomplete account of the moral costs of killing in war. When the person who is killed is liable to be killed, her rights have neither been violated nor infringed. And yet, her death is still morally bad in an objective sense. Some have argued that this objective moral badness is discounted in liability cases. In this paper I argue that the objective moral badness of death obtains in liability cases and is not discounted. Thus, if lethal harm is justified, the moral badness of death must be outweighed even in liability cases. On this view, therefore, liability-based justifications and lesser-evil justifications for defensive harming are structurally similar. The upshot of this view is that the objective badness of a combatant’s death—even the death of an unjust combatant—is included in the moral costs of war. Conclusion. Finally, in a brief concluding chapter, I explain how each of the substantive papers relates to theme of liability and accounting for the moral costs of war; I address an important distinction between moral harm and moral tragedy; and, where appropriate, I point out the practical…

▼ The ethics of economic sanctions is an issue that has been curiously neglected by philosophers and political theorists. Only a handful of philosophical journal articles and book chapters have ever been published on the subject; yet economic sanctions, as I will show, are significantly morally problematic and their use stands in need of moral justification. The aim of this thesis then is to consider how economic sanctions might be morally justified. Of the few writers who have considered this issue, the majority point to the analogies between economic sanctions and war and use the just war principles (just cause, proportionality etc.) as a framework within which to assess their moral permissibility. I argue that this is a mistake. The just war principles are derived from a set of complex and detailed arguments all planted firmly within the context of war. These arguments contain premises that, whilst they may hold true in the case of war, do not always hold true in the case of economic sanctions. Nevertheless, the rich just war tradition does offer a valuable starting point for theorising about economic sanctions and in the thesis I consider how the wider just war tradition might be brought to bear on the case of economic sanctions, beginning, not with the just war principles, but with the underlying arguments for those principles. In particular, I consider whether economic sanctions can be justified on the grounds that they are a form of self- or other-defence, that they are the ‘lesser evil’ and that they are a form of punishment. I argue that certain types of economic sanctions can be justified on the grounds that they are a form of self- or other- defence and that, in extreme circumstances, certain types of economic sanctions can be justified as the ‘lesser evil’. However, I argue that economic sanctions cannot be justified on the grounds of punishment. I also develop a ‘clean hands’ argument for economic sanctions that is unavailable to the just war theorist; I argue that where the goods and services to be supplied would contribute to human rights violations or other wrongful acts, there is a duty to impose economic sanctions to avoid complicity in this wrongdoing.
