How should the international community react when a government
transgresses humanitarian norms and violates the human rights of
its own nationals? And where does the responsibility lie to protect
people from such acts of violation? In this profound study, Fabian
Klose unites a team of leading scholars to investigate some of the
most complex and controversial debates regarding the legitimacy of
protecting humanitarian norms and universal human rights by
non-violent and violent means. Charting the development of
humanitarian intervention from its origins in the nineteenth
century through to the present day, the book surveys the
philosophical and legal rationales of enforcing humanitarian norms
by military means, and how attitudes to military intervention on
humanitarian grounds have changed over the course of three
centuries. Drawing from a wide range of disciplines, the authors
lend a fresh perspective to contemporary dilemmas using case
studies from Europe, the United States, Africa and Asia.
