Humanitarian
Intervention
Authors to be commissioned
No single issue has stirred political
debate in the 1990s and the new millennium more than the use of military
force to sustain humanitarian action, perhaps the most crucial illustration
of the fact that sovereignty is no longer sacrosanct. The evolution
of this concept includes:
- The tension in Charter provisions for state sovereignty
and human rights, and the evolution in two bodies of law in the
last half of the 20th century.
- The evolution of public international law and customary
international law as a result of international responses to the
crises of the 1990s.
- The evolving views of secretaries-general toward
the relative importance of human rights and sovereignty, with particular
reference to the 1990s.
- Evolving views and approaches to refugees, internally
displaced persons, and other victims.
- Sovereignty as responsibility.
- Moral, legal, operational, and political considerations
during the debates of the 1990s—governmental, inter-governmental,
and non-governmental.
- Global media and impact on international responses
of communications technologies.
