Explanation & Answer

The standards of just war theory are clearly rooted in the Western, Judeo-Christian cultural tradition and hence are not readily transferable or applicable in other cultural contexts. Additionally, just war standards such as proportionality, legitimate authority, and last resort are vague and require a great deal of discretion on the part of decision makers.
