Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Taking the international system as given, realists privilege actions taken by states on their own behalf. In doing so, most realists imply (or even assert) claims regarding the state's moral obligation to ensure its own preservation by whatever means necessary. The reasoning that underpins such claims is tantamount to moral skepticism because there lacks a coherent framework for assessing the morality of state action within the international system. Augustine, however, provides such a framework, consisting of interrelated decision-making principles that acknowledge the tradeoffs between the state's obligations to its citizens and its obligations to individuals outside of it. Understanding these principles, which are the foundation of Augustine's just war criteria, extends the applicability of Augustine's thinking beyond questions or war and peace to other realms of international interaction, providing citizens a means by which to assess the morality of the foreign policy pursued by political leaders.
