War Ethics

• What Is War Ethics?

​

• War ethics are certain norms to which fighting armies shall adhere to despite all their efforts, tactics and strategies working to weaken the enemy. For example an army tries to cause maximum casualties on enemy property and forces but do not to harm civilian population, prisoners of war etc.

​

​

War is bad

• The Ethics of War starts by assuming that war is a bad thing, and should be avoided if possible, but it recognises that there can be situations when war may be the lesser evil of several bad choices.
• War is a bad thing because it involves deliberately killing or injuring people, and this is a fundamental wrong – an abuse of the victims’ human rights.

​

War Ethics | Just war

• The purpose of war ethics is to help decide what is right or wrong, both for individuals and countries, and to contribute to debates on public policy, and ultimately to government and individual action.
• War ethics also leads to the creation of formal codes of war (e.g. the Hague and Geneva conventions), the drafting and implementation of rules of engagement for soldiers, and in the punishment of soldiers and others for war crimes.

How should a Just War be fought?

• A war that starts as a Just War may stop being a Just War if the means used to wage it are inappropriate.
• Innocent people and non-combatants should not be harmed.
• Only appropriate force should be used.
• This applies to both the sort of force, and how much force is used.
• Internationally agreed conventions regulating war must be obeyed.

Different Types Of Intellectual Properties Right:

Intellectual Property rights are divided into 3 types- copyright, trademark and patent.

​

1. COPYRIGHT

​

• PATENT

​

• TRADEMARK

• COPYRIGHT
• It secures a tangible form of expressions like music, painting or a book, it does not shield the idea, but how the idea is expressed. Copyright registration is one of the most widely used IP right granted to the authors for their original creative work including both published and unpublished work.

​

• PATENT
• A patent is used for preventing unique creation from being used, sold, by another party for a set time period. In short, a sovereign authority grants the IP right to the inventor after evaluating its feasibility.

• TRADEMARK
• It includes the name and identifying logo or design that a company or individual uses to differentiate itself from his rivals. This unique design or symbol makes it easy for a customer to easily identify with products and services and connect with the brand value of the business.
