About this ebook
Military Ethics Today examines the critical role of ethical principles in modern warfare, questioning whether they are truly upheld amidst the harsh realities of armed conflict. It explores the evolution of military ethics, from ancient codes to the Geneva Conventions, highlighting the necessity of adapting ethical frameworks to address contemporary challenges like cyber warfare and autonomous weapons. The book argues that a proactive, values-driven approach, emphasizing continuous education and international cooperation, is crucial for mitigating ethical risks in modern conflict, especially given that the erosion of ethical standards can undermine peace and stability.
The book progresses by first introducing core ethical concepts such as distinction, proportionality, and necessity, alongside legal frameworks governing armed conflict. It then delves into specific ethical dilemmas, including the protection of non-combatants in urban warfare and the implications of targeted killings. By exploring these issues through historical case studies, legal analyses, and empirical research, the book offers a practical framework for military professionals, policymakers, and citizens to navigate the ethical complexities of twenty-first-century warfare. It underscores the importance of ethical training and leadership within military institutions, alongside robust international accountability.
