Description: [Abstract] The principle that a war can be justified if it rectifies an injustice has its origins in the feudal law of the Roman republic, which formed part of a rite by which the Romans declared and justified war. Taken up by Cicero, it was later perpetuated with certain modifications. For Cicero, the principle related exclusively to the preconditions that a war must meet in order to be justified.
