The idea of a legitimate state

Article Abstract:

A form of government where national officials impose just control over their subordinates may be rightfully termed as a legitimate state. Such a right to control, as suggested by Wesley Newcomb Hohfeld, implies four different types of legal advantages, including claims, privileges, powers and immunities. Another essential element of a legitimate state is the right to control territory, which empowers the state to deny territorial access to nonresidents or noncitizens.

Recognitional legitimacy and the state system

Article Abstract:

A justice-based framework for analyzing the recognitional legitimacy concept was developed in an effort to evaluate its bearing on international legal institutions. The proposed model, which outlines nonconsequentialist and teleological issues to justify institutional practice, stresses that minimal requirements of justice is necessary for recognition. Contrary to previous beliefs, it was shown that rights-based arguments mutually support teleological issues.

Institutionalizing the Just War

Article Abstract:

The Just War Norm (JWN), which states that war is permissible only in response to an actual or imminent attack. Institutionalize is more permissive and depends upon two factors that is whether the new norm-institution package morally better than the status quo and the feasibility and costs of creating the new institution for which Just War Theory is inadequate.
