Counterfactuals and the Proportionality Criterion
Ethics and International Affairs 20 (4):439-454 (2006)
Abstract
It is widely held that, in order for a resort to war or military force to be morally justified, it must, in addition to having a cause that is just, be proportionate. Mellow argues for the need of a counterfactual baseline with moral qualifiers when making the proportionality evaluation.Other Versions
