Description: Since its formal inception by Former Secretary of State Madeline K. Albright, the humanitarian use of military force has assumed increasing significance in American Military policy. In this monograph, George R. Lucas, Jr. a philosopher and professor of military ethics, argues that the growing use of American (or any nation's) military forces for humanitarian purposes elevates a longstanding but decidedly secondary practice into a principal justification for training and deploying military force. He proposes criteria for intervention, revisions in the law of armed combat, and discusses the impact of this policy on military-civilian relations. In talks at Berkeley, Lucas updated his concerns regarding humanitarian military ethics in the new millennium, including the advent of virtual or immaculate war, terrorism, rogue states, the use of new military technologies, and questionable military strategies such as radical force protection that threaten to transpose all risk of harm from military combatants to civilian noncombatants.
