ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses how the ethics of care would recommend respect for international law and how it would thus approach issues of military intervention. It focuses on how the ethics of care can contribute guidance in dealing with family violence and in confronting terrorism. The chapter argues that the ethics of care is a comprehensive morality that can offer guidance for problems of violence as it can for other problems. It shows how they can be integrated if caring relations are seen as the wider and deeper network within which some relations can be dealt with in accordance with the principles of justice. The ethics of care has been developed into what is potentially a comprehensive moral outlook suitable for human relations generally. The ethics of care can recognize how mandatory legal proceedings may reduce future incidents of domestic violence and can support them.
