Abstract

ABSTRACT:The article draws on Michael Walzer’s just war theory to assess the conduct of the Lebanon War of 1982 (Operation Peace for Galilee) and argues that according to the underpinning principles of Walzer’s theory, it was an unjust war. Sharon’s war plans, codenamed “Grand Oranim,” were designed to relieve the Lebanese Christian militias of their so-called Palestinian burden by driving the refugees into Jordan where they would presumably bring about a regime change and turn Jordan into a Palestinian state. My analysis focuses on the causes of this war, jus ad bellum, whether it was a war of self-defense, and the means that were employed in its conduct, its jus in bello. Likewise explored and analyzed here are the concepts of proportionality and the treatment of non-combatants.

迈克尔·沃尔泽的正义战争理论与1982年以色列在黎巴嫩的战争:理论与应用

摘要:本文借鉴迈克尔•沃尔泽的正义战争理论，对1982年的黎巴嫩战争(加利利和平行动)进行了评价，并认为根据沃尔泽理论的基本原则，这是一场非正义战争。沙龙的战争计划代号为“大奥拉尼姆”(Grand Oranim)，旨在通过将难民驱逐到约旦，从而减轻黎巴嫩基督教民兵的所谓巴勒斯坦负担，他们可能会在约旦带来政权更迭，将约旦变成一个巴勒斯坦国。我的分析主要集中在这场战争的起因，即战争的正当性，这是否是一场自卫战，以及战争中使用的手段，即战争的正当性。这里同样探讨和分析了相称性和非战斗人员待遇的概念。
