Abstract

The following article analyzes the application of Jus Post Bellum, a concept stemming from the Just War Theory of Michael Walzer. First, a definition of the Just War Theory, based on the Williams and Caldwell statement, is granted. Second, Jus Post Bellum is explained, this includes the obligations that States have when intervening. Third, several instances are highlighted during which the United States did adhere to Jus Post Bellum principles, and then instances in which did not. Finally, these examples are used to explain how the state morality has changed over time.
