Quote by Ernest Hemingway

For a war to be just three conditions are necessary - public authority, just cause, right motive.

For a war to be just three conditions are necessary - public

Summary

This quote emphasizes the three essential conditions required for a war to be considered just. The first condition is the presence of public authority, which means that the decision to go to war should be made by a legitimate governing body or authority, rather than an individual or group acting unlawfully. The second condition is a just cause, implying that there must be a valid reason for engaging in warfare, such as self-defense or prevention of a grave injustice. Lastly, the right motive is crucial, implying that the intentions behind waging war should be morally upright and driven by the pursuit of justice, rather than personal gain or aggression.
