English term or phrase: end run
To justify the bestiality of war on the ground of preemptive defense is not only to move the enterprise of war out of any moral bounds by making it a matter of the private judgment of the warring nation or local commander. It was precisely that dangerous kind of out-of-bounds ethical end run that the entire history of Just War Theory development was most interested in preventing.

nel contesto questo aggirare l'ostacolo, trovare un escamotage, può essere ricondotto a 'pretesto', 'scappatoia', che si riallacciano a quel iniziale 'justify'
