Humanitarian intervention in light of ethical and legal foundations of International Law
Main Article Content
Abstract
Discussions on humanitarian intervention are far from reaching a consensus, mainly due to the tenuous line between international politics and international law. The difficulties in reconciling the normative and ethical aspects that enable humanitarian intervention make this a complex issue. Given this scenario, this qualitative case study based on bibliographical-documentary research analyzes (i) the historical context of humanitarian interventions in the 1990s, (ii) the five main cases of (non)intervention in the 1990s (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Somalia, Rwanda, Haiti and Kosovo), and (ii) the ethical and legal foundations that justify humanitarian intervention.
