Movie Review of Walnut Tree by Mohammad Hossein Mahdavian: Jus in Bello and Jus Post Bellum of the Iran–Iraq War.

The article discusses the movie "Walnut Tree" directed by Mohammad Hossein Mahdavian, which depicts the aftermath of Iraq's chemical attacks during the Iran-Iraq War. The movie focuses on the concept of just conduct during war, specifically Jus in Bello and Jus post Bellum. It highlights the violation of criteria for just conduct by Iraq, such as targeting residential areas and using chemical weapons. The movie also explores ethical dilemmas faced by non-combatants during war, such as forced entry into private property and difficult medical decisions. Overall, the article suggests that just war theory is not sufficient to address all ethical dilemmas during war. [Extracted from the article]
