Abstract
Power and ethics are two inseparable factors in international relations, where the purpose of ethics is to limit the destructive effects of power. However, today we witness a dichotomy between these two factors in the world. Governments and those who wield power often claim to make their decisions based on ethics, but in practice, the articulation of these claims is often lacking justification, and issues other than upholding ethics and human values take precedence. Consequently, in order to establish and exert ethical influence in international relations, there is a need for modeling and mainstreaming ethics. In this regard, having a progressive model that encompasses ethical foundations and introducing and utilizing it as a paradigm can be influential.
