Neither willing to engage in a meaningful way to save targeted
civilians in Iraq, Bosnia and Rwanda nor to stand entirely aside as
massive violations of humanitarian law occurred, states embraced
safety zones as a means to 'do something' whilst avoiding being
drawn into open warfare. Humanitarian Intervention and Safety
Zones: Iraq, Bosnia and Rwanda explores why and how effectively
safety zones were implemented as a way to protect civilians and
displaced persons in three of the most important conflicts of the
1990s. It shows how states consistently sought to reconcile their
political and humanitarian interests, a process which often led to
problematic and ambiguous outcomes, and assesses in fascinating
detail the difficulties and controversies surrounding the use of
such zones, variously called safe havens, safe areas, secure
humanitarian areas, and zones humanitaires sures . The book also
asks whether or not such zones could serve as precedents for
possible future attempts to ensure the safety of civilians in
complex humanitarian emergencies.
