Daniel Brunstetter, UCI political science associate professor writes, “As the Russian
war of aggression in Ukraine unfolds, we have witnessed multiple calls for the West
to implement a no-fly zone. … As civilian casualties mount and the humanitarian crisis
deepens, how do we ethically evaluate the decision of whether or not to implement
a no-fly zone in Ukraine? What criteria are most important to think through the choice?
To answer these questions, I turn to jus ad vim, the set of moral principles governing
the decision to use limited force.”
