The moral equality of combatants (MEC) or moral equality of soldiers is the principle that soldiers fighting on both sides of a war are equally honorable, unless they commit war crimes, regardless of whether they fight for a just cause. MEC is a key element underpinning international humanitarian law (IHL)—which applies the rules of war equally to both sides—and traditional just war theory. According to philosopher Henrik Syse, MEC presents a serious quandary because "it makes as little practical sense to ascribe blame to individual soldiers for the cause of the war in which they fight as it makes theoretical sense to hold the fighters on the two sides to be fully morally equal". The moral equality of combatants has been cited in relation to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict or the U.S.-led

| - La igualdad moral entre combatientes (IMC) o igualdad moral entre soldados es el principio de que los soldados que luchan en ambos lados de una guerra son igualmente honorables, a menos que cometan crímenes de guerra, independientemente de que luchen por una causa justa. IMC es un elemento clave que sustenta el derecho internacional humanitario (DIH), que aplica las reglas de la guerra por igual a ambos bandos, y la teoría tradicional de la guerra justa. Según el filósofo Henrik Syse, IMC presenta un serio dilema porque «tiene tan poco sentido práctico atribuir la culpa a los soldados individuales por la causa de la guerra en la que luchan como tiene sentido teórico considerar que los combatientes de los dos bandos son plenamente moralmente iguales».

El erudito en derecho internacional Eliav Lieblich afirma que la responsabilidad moral de los soldados que participan en guerras injustas es «uno de los problemas más difíciles de la ética de la guerra».
