Description: "Taking up the international ecumenical debate on 'just peace' and the international responsibility to protect, this volume documents the discussions on the relation between the two concepts: How does responsibility to protect influence the paradigm of just peace? How can the core idea of prevention be implemented in view of real needs to protect? And can criteria be developed to reflect just peace as a model for Christian peace ethics? Can these criteria also include military intervention as a last resort?" --from back cover.
