International Relations Humanitarian Interventions Questions
The concept of 'humanitarian intervention fatigue' refers to the weariness or reluctance of states and international actors to engage in humanitarian interventions due to a variety of factors. These factors may include the perceived ineffectiveness or limited success of previous interventions, the high financial and human costs associated with such interventions, the potential for mission creep or unintended consequences, and the political backlash or criticism that often accompanies these interventions. Humanitarian intervention fatigue can lead to a decrease in the willingness of states to intervene in future humanitarian crises, resulting in a more cautious or selective approach to such interventions.
