Summary

This work explains why the concern to minimize civilian casualties is solidly based in Western civilization's most fundamental principles of justice. The author interprets Augustine's just war theory, Vitoria and Suarez's "transitional" model of war, and offers explanation for the modern characterization of the combatant as a depersonalized instrument.

Author Biography

Colm McKeogh is lecturer in the Department of Political Science at the University of Waikato, New Zealand.
