What Should We Mean by 'Military Ethics'?

Journal of Military Ethics ( JME ) is an international, peer-reviewed journal devoted to normative aspects of military force. The journal publishes articles discussing justifications for the resort to military force ( jus ad bellum) and/or what may justifiably be done in the use of such force ( jus in bello). The scope of JME also includes research/discussion on ethical issues in military training, as well as the post-conflict role of military forces.

JME seeks to include articles from a variety of academic disciplines and cultural backgrounds. Articles may adopt theoretical, empirical, or historical approaches.
