The human rights and humanitarian landscape of the modern era has
been littered with acts that have shocked the moral conscience of
mankind, and there has been wide variation in whether, how, and to
what degree states respond to mass atrocity crimes, even when they
share similar characteristics. In many cases concerned states
responded, either through moral suasion; gentle or coercive
diplomacy; or other non-forcible measures, to prevent or halt the
indiscriminate human rights violations that were occurring. In
others, states simply turned away and left the vulnerable to their
fate. And still yet in other cases, states responded robustly,
using military force to stop the atrocities and save lives. This
book seeks to examine the effects of strategic framing in U.S. and
UN policy arenas to draw conclusions regarding whether and how the
human rights and humanitarian norms embedded within such frames
resonated with decision-makers and, in turn, how they shaped
variation in levels of political will concerning humanitarian
intervention in three cases that today would qualify as
Responsibility to Protect (R2P) cases: Somalia, Rwanda, and Sierra
Leone. Labonte concludes that in order for humanitarian
interventions to stand a higher likelihood of being effective,
states advocating in support of such actions must find a way to
persuade policymakers by appealing to both the logic of
consequences (which rely on material and pragmatic considerations)
and logic of appropriateness (which rely on normatively appropriate
considerations) - and strategic framing may be one path to achieve
this outcome. Offering a detailed and examination of three key
cases and providing some an original and important contribution to
the field this work will be of great interest to students and
scholars alike.
