The successful transition from armed conflict to peace is one of the greatest challenges of contemporary warfare. The laws and principles governing transitions from conflict to peace (jus post bellum) have only recently gained attention in legal scholarship. This book explores the different legal meanings and components of the concept, including its implications in contemporary politics and practice.

"Just War scholarship has adapted to contemporary crises and situations. But its adaptation has spurned debate and conversation--a method and means of pushing its thinking forward. Now the Just War tradition risks becoming marginalized. This concern may seem out of place as Just War literature is proliferating, yet this literature remains welded to traditional conceptualizations of Just War. Caron E. Gentry and Amy E. Eckert argue that the tradition needs to be updated to deal with substate actors within the realm of legitimate authority, private military companies, and the questionable moral difference between the use of conventional and nuclear weapons. Additionally, as recent policy makers and scholars have tried to make the Just War criteria legalistic, they have weakened the tradition's ability to draw from and adjust to its contemporaneous setting. The essays in The Future of Just War seek to reorient the tradition around its core concerns of preventing the unjust use of force by states and limiting the harm inflicted on vulnerable populations such as civilian noncombatants. The pursuit of these challenges involves both a reclaiming of traditional Just War principles from those who would push it toward greater permissiveness with respect to war, as well as the application of Just War principles to emerging issues, such as the growing use of robotics in war or the privatization of force. These essays share a commitment to the idea that the tradition is more about a rigorous application of Just War principles than the satisfaction of a checklist of criteria to be met before waging "just" war in the service of national interest"--

La place de Grotius dans l'histoire du droit international demeure controversée : pour d'aucuns, le juriste de Delft reste le « père du droit des gens », pour d'autres, son De iure belli ac pacis (1625) se borne à donner une forme définitive aux travaux de ses devanciers, ceux-ci étant donc les vrais fondateurs de la science moderne du droit international. Les uns et les autres ne perçoivent l'humaniste néerlandais qu'en fonction de cette discipline juridique actuelle. Dépassant ce débat, Peter Haggenmacher montre au contraire que ni Grotius ni ses devanciers ne pensaient en fonction de cette discipline encore inexistante de leur temps ; et que leur cadre de référence est en réalité le droit de la guerre, conçu non pas comme un secteur du droit international, mais comme un corps doctrinal indépendant. A son avis le droit de la guerre constituait à l'époque de Grotius une branche bien individualisée de la pensée juridique, aboutissement d'une réflexion de plus en plus étendue et cohérente sur le problème de la guerre juste par les théologiens et les juristes au moyen âge et au début des temps modernes. C'est dans le prolongement de cette doctrine scolastique et humaniste de la guerre, dont il décrit les principaux aspects, qu'il situe l'œuvre grotienne, en réappréciant du même coup la pensée internationaliste de son auteur et sa signification pour la genèse du droit des gens en tant que système juridique autonome. L'ouvrage d'origine a été publié avec l'aide du Fonds national suisse de la recherche scientifique. Il a également bénéficié d'un subside de la part de la Société académique de l'Université de Genève. Il a été couronné du Prix Paul Guggenheim en 1981.

"One of the most contentious developments in contemporary international affairs has been the increase in uses of force-short-of-war, such as targeted killings, limited airstrikes, and no-fly zones. On the one hand, uses of force-short-of-war appear more compartmentalized and containable, but on the other hand, they have encouraged a more frequent recourse to arms. How, then, are we to make moral sense of this shift toward the small-scale uses of force? This debate has divided just-war theorists, but author Christian Nikolaus Braun offers a new perspective. He evaluates comprehensively the ethics framework jus ad vim (the just use of force-short-of-war) as a pillar of just war theory and as a practical matter of deciding when military interventions below the level of war can and cannot be justified. The book's moral argument will rely on a historical reading of the just-war thought of Thomas Aquinas"--
