War conflict in Afghanistan in 2001 through the optics of Just War Theory
Velková, Terezie ; Slačálek, Ondřej (advisor) ; Barša, Pavel (referee)
The thesis focuses on the war conflict in Afghanistan in 2001 in the context of the United States administration`s declaration of a war on terror as a result of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. It examines the initiation and conduct of the war conflict through the lens of the just war theory based on its criteria, namely through jus ad bellum (especially the criteria of just cause, right intention and legitimate authority) and jus in bello (the criteria of proportionality of means and discrimination). The thesis applies the criteria of a just war in relation to the conflict in Afghanistan and seeks to answer whether the initiation of the conflict as well as the conduct of the war by the United States was compatible with the just war theory. The work also analyzes the approaches of theorists dealing with the moral and legitimate evaluation of the war conflict (Fiala, Crawford, Elshtain). Key words: Afghanistan, War on terror, The Just War Theory, jus ad bellum, jus in bello
