Abstract-
The Law of Armed Force has been customarily theorised in a semblance of prevalent theories of Jus ad bellum and Jus in bello. Such separate dualist concept of outfitted power and principle of armed force discovers its underlying foundations through the means of legitimate traditions of the happenings of the Interwar period. Besides that, a one on one differentiation regarding the same has been thoroughly highlighted by the means of “Theory of Warfare” The discrepancy between the concepts of Jus ad bellum and Jus in bello has had a prolonged historic convention in connection with the “Theory of Warfare”. Although in scholarly writing, the moralities of the said theories are regularly examined together. Upon retrospection they are as a rule arranged under philosophical, strict or moral belief systems by means of Just War Theory or Just War Doctrine otherwise alluded as Jus bellum lustum. Incidentally they are combined with a third principle specifically Jus Post bellum which incorporates post conflict legal standards. However, the same earned its rightful status in the radical law right in the course of the League of Nations.
