    Area of Science:

    • Bioethics
    • Public Health
    • Medical Ethics

    Background:

    • War significantly impacts health and presents ethical challenges for healthcare professionals.
    • Current frameworks often fail to protect health professionals or uphold medical ethics during conflicts.
    • The field of bioethics has historically underemphasized the issue of war.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the ethical obligations of health professionals in war zones.
    • To advocate for a stronger role of bioethics in addressing war and its consequences.
    • To promote strategies for war prevention and collective action among health professionals.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of ethical principles and their application to warfare.
    • Review of the responsibilities of health practitioners and scientists in conflict situations.
    • Argument for integrating war prevention into bioethical discourse.

    Main Results:

    • Medical ethics and the principle of humanity must supersede military objectives.
    • The concept of "military necessity" is incompatible with professional and global ethics.
    • Existing norms protecting health professionals in conflict are frequently violated.

    Conclusions:

    • Bioethics should actively address war as a critical public health issue.
    • Health professionals have a collective responsibility to advocate for peace and war prevention.
    • Emphasizing war as a man-made public health problem can drive preventative strategies.
