The dilemma of how best to protect human rights is one of the most
persistent problems facing the international community today. This
unique and wide-ranging history of humanitarian intervention
examines responses to oppression, persecution and mass atrocities
from the emergence of the international state system and
international law in the late sixteenth century, to the end of the
twentieth century. Leading scholars show how opposition to tyranny
and to religious persecution evolved from notions of the common
interests of 'Christendom' to ultimately incorporate all people
under the concept of 'human rights'. As well as examining specific
episodes of intervention, the authors consider how these have been
perceived and justified over time, and offer important new insights
into ideas of national sovereignty, international relations and
law, as well as political thought and the development of current
theories of 'international community'.
