Revisionist just war theory
Revisionist just war theory is a development of just war theory that, unlike traditional just war theory, seeks to integrate jus ad bellum and jus in bello, therefore rejecting many traditional beliefs such as moral equality of combatants.[1][2] Revisionists argue that international law is at best a pragmatic fiction—it lacks deeper moral foundations.[3]
