Title: Humanitarian intervention
Description: "Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, and Kosovo. All are examples where humanitarian intervention has been called into action. This timely and important new volume explores the legal and moral issues that emerge when one state uses military force to protect innocent people from violence perpetrated or permitted by the government of another. Humanitarian intervention can be seen as fulfilling a moral duty to protect, but it is also subject to misuse as an excuse for imperialism in violation of international lay."--Jacket.
