Quote by Thomas Aquinas

In order for a war to be just, three things are necessary. First, the authority of the sovereign. Secondly, a just cause. Thirdly, a rightful intention.

In order for a war to be just, three things are necessary. F

Summary

This quote suggests that for a war to be considered just, three conditions must be met. Firstly, there should be a recognized authority, like a government or a sovereign, with the power to wage war. Secondly, the cause for the war should be morally justifiable, such as defending oneself from aggression. Lastly, the intention behind the war must be rightful, meaning that the ultimate goal should be the restoration of peace and justice. Without all three elements in place, a war may be seen as lacking justification or legitimacy.
