Abstract

Over the past few years, the Islamic State, a group of Sunni insurgents, expanded control over the territory of Iraq and Syria, establishing a situation of war and reaching currently the status of a global threat. The group´s extremist interpretation of the religion and the laws attracts people from several countries that leave their states to join as a combatant in a “holy war”. The objective of this research is to analyze briefly the Islamic State from legal perspective and from the just war theory. The main conclusion obtained is that the actions taken by the group do not qualify as a just war, because it is not a war of aggression or a war that is morally justified.
