    Resumen

    Este artculo compara dos posturas filosficas que definen la naturaleza del orden internacionalen materia de legitimidad estatal y las justificaciones para el recurso a la guerra. La primera

    posicin, establecida por Francisco de Vitoria en el siglo XVI, plantea los marcos de legitimidady el uso de la fuerza dentro de la concepcin tradicional cristiana del derecho natural y lajusticia. Legtimos son aquellos estados que respetan los principios universales de justicia, sin

    importar el rgimen especfico de stos. Asimismo, el recurso a la guerra slo encuentra sujustificacin en los principios constitutivos del bll y el bllo. El dho G rwl, que se compara con la tradicin del derecho natural cristiano, articula,por el contrario, una particular concepcin liberal de la justicia que define la legitimidad en

    trminos enteramente polticos. Adems, en su adhesin a la llamada exencin de emergenciasuprema Rawls desecha un aspecto crucial del bllo, que prohbe los ataques contrala poblacin civil, como medio excepcional para la defensa y la promocin de un orden liberalinternacional. Se argumenta que esta visin ideolgica del orden postula una concepcinexcluyente de la justicia en un mundo cultural y polticamente diverso y, por lo tanto, alientael conflicto, la resistencia y la lucha entre los Estados liberales y no liberales, e incluso fortalecela autocracia ms all de la zona liberal de la paz. Una visin ms tolerante, expresada porTerry Nardin en su concepcin de moral comn, es parecida a la de Vitoria en el sentidode concebir el orden como algo emanado no de principios polticos, sino de principios justos,y expresa, mediante un lenguaje tico contemporneo, los principios fundamentales de latradicin de la guerra justa establecidos por el propio Vitoria.
