One of the genuinely remarkable but relatively unnoticed
developments of the last half-century is the blossoming of an
international humanitarian order - a complex of norms, informal
institutions, laws, and discourses that legitimate and compel
various kinds of interventions by state and nonstate actors with
the explicit goal of preserving and protecting human life. For
those who have sacrificed to build this order, and for those who
have come to rely on it, the international humanitarian represents
a towering achievement cause for sobriety. What kind of
international humanitarian order is being imagined, created and
practiced? To what extent are the international agents of this
order deliverers of progress or disappointment? Featuring
previously published and original essays, this collection offers a
critical assessment of the practices and politics of global ethical
interventions in the context of the post-cold war transformation of
the international humanitarian order. After an introduction that
introduces the reader to the concept and the significance of the
international humanitarian order, Section I explores the braided
relationship between international order and the UN, whiles Section
II critically examines international ethics in practice. The
Conclusion reflects on these and other themes, asking why the
international humanitarian order retains such a loyal following
despite its flaws, what is the relationship of this order to power
and politics, how such relationships implicate our understanding of
moral progress, and how the international humanitarian order
challenges both practitioners and scholars to rethink the meaning
of their vocations.
