Last Resort: The principle of last resort is a supporter of international law, Article 2(4) of the United Nations Charter states, "the prohibition of the use of force", ( Gray, 2004, p.5). Force should be limited as a last resort; therefore, all peaceful options should be used before the use of force. Furthermore, Michael Walzer agrees with international law. He states that "you always want to see diplomacy put into practice before resorting to war." War according to the just war principle may be acceptable according to the “last resort” principle (Walzer, 2006, p.84). Walzer states that there are always peaceful alternatives available to prevent war. It is evident from the Security Council; a nation has the right to 'defend itself, through the discriminatory and proportionate use of force as a last resort' (Rychlak, 2004, p.10). The principle of self-defense has been used in modern diplomacy to declare wars. After the September 11 attack, a conspiracy spread against Iraq having weapons of mass destruction. Bush feared that Iraq might pose a grave threat to the United States, so he made the case for imminent intervention. Because of Iraq's previous history of obtaining weapons of mass destruction during the Gulf War, there have been questions about whether Iraq poses a major threat to the global economy. It should be noted that the United Nations adopted resolutions to ensure peaceful conditions that Iraq had to respect. However, Iraq did not comply with resolutions 678 and 687, due to recent knowledge of the availability of weapons of mass destruction. Peaceright activist Rabinder (2002) Singh QC and Janet Kentridge (2002) argue that "Iraq's alleged failure to comply with all or parts of the 29 existing UN Security Council resolutions would not justify the use of force" ( Shiner.P, E Williams A, 2008, p.21). They argued that the United States is using the old resolution to prosecute… middle of the paper… to date we have found no evidence that Iraq has reinstated its nuclear weapons since eliminating the program in 1990” (White. DN, 2009, p. 48). Therefore, it can be argued that the intervention on the basis of weapons of mass destruction was not carried out weapons were found. Many right war theorists supported the war against Iraq. They argued that the principle of last resort did not “meet the established conditions” (Romaya, 2012, p.24). peaceful alternatives; if the inspections had been completed, this would have prevented Iraq's intervention. It can therefore be assessed that not all peaceful measures to prevent the war in Iraq have been implemented and that the concept of last resort can be manipulated. Therefore, according to the principle of just war and international law, the war in Iraq is inappropriate.
