Analyze the right intention criterion in just war theory

Under the jus ad bellum framework of just war theory, the criterion of "right intention" dictates that the ultimate moral purpose of resorting to military force must be to establish a just and lasting peace, rather than pursuing self-interest, expansion, or destruction.

Evaluate the dropdown options

• annihilation: Contradicts the moral limits of just war theory.
• peace: Aligns precisely with the core philosophical goal of right intention, which is to secure a just peace.
• perpetual war: Directly opposes the goal of ending conflict.
• conquest: Represents an unjust, self-serving motive explicitly forbidden by the theory.
