Most scholars agree that, to be considered just, a war must meet several jus ad bellum requirements!. The four most important conditions are: (1) the war must be declared openly by a proper sovereign authority (e!.g!., the governing authority of the political community in question); (2) the war must have a just cause (e!.g!., defense of the common good or a response to grave injustice); (3) the warring state must have just intentions (i!.e!., it must wage the war for justice rather than for self-interest); and (4) the aim of the war must be the establishment of a just peace!. Since the end of World War II it has become customary to add three other conditions: (1) there must be a reasonable chance of success; (2) force must be used as a last resort; and (3) the expected benefits of war must outweigh its anticipated costs!.

Since the end of the Cold War, several international military interventions were undertaken to put an end to perceived human rights abuses (e!.g!., in Somalia and in Yugoslavia in the 1990s)!. As a result of the increased attention paid to human rights abuses and the significant growth in international human rights law, the traditional notion that a head of state enjoys sovereign immunity for human rights abuses committed by the armed forces of his country has been challenged!. Correspondingly, since the 1990s many just-war theorists have argued that the need to end and punish such abuses constitutes a just cause for the use of military force and that the intention to do so well expresses the just-war aim of responding to serious injustice and reestablishing peace!. As yet, however, there is no consensus among just-war theorists on these matters, and their implications for international law remain to be seen!.

A preeminent contemporary institutional statement of the just-war idea is from the U!.S!. National Conference of Catholic Bishops of the Catholic Church, The Challenge of Peace: God's Promise and Our Response (1983)!. Arguably one of the foundational documents in just-war thinking, Paul Ramsey, The Just War: Force and Political Responsibility (1968, reprinted 1983), focuses primarily on nuclear weapons and deterrence!. The major secular contribution to more-recent just-war thinking, which describes itself as aiming “to recapture the just war for political and moral theory,” is Michael Walzer, Just and Unjust Wars: A Moral Argument with Historical Illustrations, 3rd ed!. (2000)!.
