Abstract
In this research, the moral status of Dutch combatants will be considered. Due to changes in the nature of international conflict, Dutch combatants are not only seen as warriors, but also as moral agents. In order to take responsibilities regarding the fulfilment of the ius in bello criteria with regards to the just war principles, combatants are trained to act within moral dilemmas with which they are confronted in combat. This moral view of Dutch combatants will be explained in the context of the theoretical debate regarding the moral status of combatants. In doing so, it will become clear that the moral status of Dutch combatants corresponds with the moral status of combatants presented within traditional just war theory
