- W289367464 abstract "With issues such as the Syrian Civil War taking a central role in current political discussion, it is important to understand fully what is occurring in the ethical conversations surrounding it. There are three philosophies that represent the ethics of war. These philosophical schools are referred to as Realism, Pacifism and Just War Theory. Because both Pacifism and Realism fail to adequately frame ethics in times of conflict, Just War Theory should be used to determine whether preemptive wars are ever ethical. This means that only by following the strict framework of Just War Theory, is it possible to properly map the answer to the issue of whether preemptive war is ever ethically justifiable. This paper argues that because of the ways in which preemptive warfare violates Just War Theory, it can never be ethically justified. Faculty mentor: Dawn Gale This article is available in JCCC Honors Journal: http://scholarspace.jccc.edu/honors_journal/vol5/iss1/1 With issues such as the Syrian Civil War taking a central role in current political discussion, it is important to understand fully what is occurring in the conversations surrounding them. As some people call for an attack on Syria to prevent the use of weapons of mass destruction or the nation being used as an Al Qaeda base to attack the United States, others call for an overthrow of the current regime because its actions to date have been unethical. What exactly does this mean? When analyzing warfare, how can one frame ethics in such a way as to capture the nuance that goes into warfare? This becomes even more relevant when assessing the potential threats posed by North Korea and Iran. Whether it is regarding the use of a computer virus to attack an Iranian nuclear centrifuge or a missile to level a regime facility in Syria, the issue at hand remains the same; whether preemptive warfare is ever ethically justifiable. Nations like Iran, Syria and North Korea could all pose very real and imminent threats, and it is important to understand the proper way to approach that problem, just like any other. Should there be room in ethics for the preemptive strike? The answer is no. There are three philosophies that represent the ethics of war. These schools are Realism, Pacifism and Just War Theory. There could be other names for methods of approaching and viewing war and peace, but they will always fall into one of the three previously mentioned traditional philosophies based on the ethical criteria and principles of each. These approaches are evidently dominant in this regard. First, it is important to understand what makes each idea distinct and different from the other. Pacifism 1 is unique in positing that no use of force is ever ethically justified. In Pacifism, the thoughts and notions of what is or is not ethical is applied broadly to relationships between nation-states. In this school of thought, it would not make sense to try to determine whether a war is just. This is because the result of every attempt to make a determination would yield the" @default.
