JUST WAR AND THE WAR IN IRAQ: RE-READING OF AN ANACHRONISTIC DOCTRINE IN THE 21TH CENTURY

Abstract

The Just War doctrine that has the deep historical and philosophical roots has been discussed extensively by philosophers, lawyers and political scientists with the end of the Cold War. The new directions in US foreign policy just after the September 11 terrorist attacks have paved the way for new debates concerning the Just War. Additionally embracing the pre-emptive war principle as a new driving force of the US foreign policy, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and current debates on humanitarian intervention have showed that the debates on the Just War is highly controversial in practice. Therefore this study aims to shed light on those controversies. The historical evolution and main principles of the Just War have also been analyzed. For more detailed analysis of definitions and principles of the Just War, the war in Iraq is one of the best cases. The Just War doctrine or theory can only be used as a legitimate tool for the specific cases since it cannot be foundation or a permanent component of any states‟ foreign policy. However many scholars and practitioners consider the Just War as a part of foreign policy strategies of the states and international law especially after the Cold War era. Therefore abusing the substance of just war concept and its historical evolution is actually a way of attempting to establish a new international law.
