This is an old revision of the document!
Malus Necessarium (or Malum Necessarium) are a policy applied to actions, prescribing the use of as little evil (as in “suffering”, “malice” or “evil”) as possible to achieve a means. It is a necessary condition stemming from Utilitarianism and literally translates from Latin into “Necessary Evil”. The wording is derived from the Hitman games, which uses a similarly named term to describe it's way it wants the player to play the game, by assassinating the targets while causing the least amount of collateral necessary. The game discourages and punishes unnecessary kills, injuries etc. to anyone but the targets the player is intended to assassinate.
