For more than a thousand years, the Just War Doctrine has claimed to place moral limits on violence, permitting nations to take up the sword only under strict conditions of defense, justice, and last resort. Yet history shows how easily those rules have been twisted to justify conquest, genocide, and the machinery of endless war. What began as an effort to restrain bloodshed became, again and again, a language used to sanctify it.
In this RoundTable, we ask whether humanity has reached the moment to move beyond the old paradigm entirely. If previous RoundTables challenged judgment, empire, and cycles of revenge, RT 51 confronts the deepest inheritance of them all: the belief that war can redeem us. The greatest victims of war are not only children, but also the sons sent to fight their fathers' battles -- creating a profound fracture between generations. Can that broken bond be healed? Can the warrior be transformed into the peacemaker? Join us as we explore a path beyond the Just War trap and toward a future rooted in reconciliation, sovereignty, and peace.
Join to discuss how to end the Just War Doctrine stranglehold on the father and his warrior son though JFKs legacy, sacrifice and promise of peace for all time.
