Was the Korean War ethical

Answer 1

If the question asks was it ethical for the United Nations to intervene without a declaration of war, it must be remembered that there was no time for that. North Korea had already crossed the 38th Parallel with an army of 90,000 men. By the time war was declared, the entire country of South Korea would have been captured. If the question asks if the war was conducted ethically, in some ways it was, and in other ways no, but this may be said of many if not all wars.

Answer 2

The moral issues faced by the Korean War were basically unchanged from previous wars; killing was wrong when settling issues.
