The problem is that 'justify' is different from 'necessitate'. What does 'justify or necessitate' mean? Why not declaring them in two senses? what do they have in common?

In this case you can think of "necessitate" as a stronger idea than "justify", within the same general family of meanings. "justify" means to provide sufficient reason, so that it is reasonable to do something; "necessitate" means to provide compelling reason, so that it is necessary to do something.
