| Summary: | 碩士 === 國防大學政治作戰學院 === 政治研究所 === 100 === War has been playing an extremely significant role in human historical civilization. War itself seems to be a “necessary evil.” In order to minimize the casualty, therefore, the ideology of “just war” is the very topic that the thesis is about to discourse. The 9-11 incident happened in 2001 has made people figure out that the terroristic activities or acts of terror are easily able to be put into practice anytime and anywhere. Owing to the dominant guidance of the United States, “antiterrorism,” or “counterterrorism” has become the fountainhead of contemporary wars. “Terrorism” has completely altered the external forms of war, nonetheless, the internal cruel nature of war is still the original one.
When the conflicts can not be averted entirely, meanwhile, wars are hardly to cut off. As far as the “Operation Enduring Freedom” or generally so-called “War in Afghanistan ” is concerned, in terms of the United States’ just war and the Muslim radicals’ Jihad, both sides do hold their own specific ideologies, principles or so on and doctrines of justice. Constantly, the term “just war” has been named by the cognition and rethinking among the international communities toward wars. Nowadays, the just war simply includes the justice of casus belli and engagement, somehow, the author myself has found that just war has to fit in with some objective criteria such as “humanitarian concerns,” obeying the “international laws” or some rules regarding wars and satisfied with “public opinion” or other else. While facing the various kinds of menaces to us from China-Com or so called “Mainland China” contemporarily, the only measure that can decipher or even more defeat the artifices about “three-wars” which simply contains the legal warfare, the public opinion warfare and the psychological warfare is the very study for “just war” by all means. Consequently, so far as we are concerned, the merely way to achieve the goal, peace-keeping and is undoubtedly to spread and to put the implication of just war into practice.
