Just war theory is concerned with two main issues: (1) the justification for resorting to war (tra ditionally labeled jus ad bellum, or "the justice of war") and (2) the moral permissibility of acts in war (jus in bello, or "justice in war"). Theorists have addressed jus ad bellum. by specifying that going to war can be morally permissible only if certain requirements are met. In the following list, Aquinas urged the Jirst three requirements, and later thinkers embraced them and added several more. According to the theory, only if all the requirements are met can a war be considered just.
1. The cause must be just. War is such a horri
fying business that only a just cause-a morally legitimate reason-can justify going to war. The most commonly cited just cause is, as noted pre viously, self-defense against attack. The usual thinking is that precisely as individuals are enti tled to use violence to defend themselves against violent personal attacks, so states have the right to defend against unjust attacks from another
