The idea that we should 'do something' to help those suffering in
far-off places is the main impulse driving those who care about
human rights. Yet from Kosovo to Iraq, military interventions have
gone disastrously wrong. "The Thin Blue Line" describes how in the
last twenty years humanitarianism has emerged as a
multibillion-dollar industry that has played a leading role in
defining humanitarian crises, and shaping the foreign policy of
Western governments and the United Nations. Drawing on his own
experience of working in over a dozen conflict and post-conflict
zones, Foley shows how the growing influence of international law
has been used to override the sovereignty of the poorest countries
in the world.
