Few foreign policy issues in the past decade have elicited as
much controversy as the use of military force for humanitarian
purposes. In this book Brian Lepard offers a new method for
analyzing humanitarian intervention that seeks to resolve conflicts
among legal norms by identifying ethical principles embedded in the
UN Charter and international law and relating them to a pivotal
principle of "unity in diversity."
A special feature of the book, which avoids the charge of
ethnocentricity brought against other approaches, is that Lepard
shows how passages from the revered texts of seven world religions
may be interpreted as supporting these ethical principles. In
connecting law with ethics and religion in this way, he takes a
major step forward in the effort to formulate a normative basis for
international law in our multicultural world.
