    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the criteria for a just war in the context of World War II, challenging the notion that modern conditions preclude the possibility of such just conflicts. It argues that while the nature of war has changed, the principles governing what is just and unjust remain applicable. It emphasizes that the war against Nazi Germany by France and England is not ideological or holy but a response to aggression.
