C ooperation In traditional security, there is a recognition that cooperation in limiting violence is possible. These limits relate both to the ends and the means of war. It is now an almost universally-accepted view that countries should only go to war for the right reasons, primarily self-defence or to protect other people from genocide. War must also be limited in terms of the means that are used.
Armies must avoid killing or hurting non- combatants as well as unarmed and surrendering combatants. They should not be excessively violent. Force must in any case be used only after all the alternatives have failed. Those who fight against their own country must be unhappy about something.
Perhaps it is their insecurity that creates insecurity for the country. Third World Arms © Ares, Cagle Cartoons Inc.
