Occupation and the Just War

Princeton University New Jersey

Just war theorists have had difficulty assessing the moral character of occupations, since they often fail to engage with the broader mechanisms and ethical issues of control and power inherent to that state of conflict. These challenges, however, cut to the heart of many of the just war tradition's assumptions, requiring new conceptualizations of its principles and rules for appropriate conduct. This article takes a first step in that direction, recasting the tradition to encompass a wider view of threat and violence in military occupations, using the Israel—Palestine conflict as an illustrative case.

Key Words: Israel • just war theory • jus post bellum • occupation • Palestine • West Bank • Gaza Strip
