How to use "Casus belli" in context?
There is no definitive answer as to what qualifies as a "casus belli," or what triggers a states' right to wage war.Yet, several essential factors have been identified by international law experts as necessary for a state to legitimately resort to war. These factors include the seriousness of the perceived injury, the existence of an armed force capable of offering serious resistance, and the willingness and capability of the aggressor state to address the underlying issues.
While the term casus belli is an oft-used legal concept, global opinion is divided as to when war should be waged in order to address these issues.
