International Relations Humanitarian Interventions Questions
The concept of 'humanitarian intervention non-violation of international principles' in humanitarian interventions refers to the idea that while humanitarian interventions involve the use of force or military action by one state or a group of states to protect or assist a population facing severe human rights abuses or humanitarian crises, such interventions should still adhere to the principles and norms of international law. This means that the intervention should be justified based on clear and compelling humanitarian grounds, such as preventing or stopping mass atrocities, and should be conducted in accordance with the principles of proportionality, necessity, and legality. The intervention should not violate the sovereignty of the target state unless authorized by the United Nations Security Council or based on a legitimate claim of self-defense. Additionally, the intervention should aim to minimize harm to civilians and ensure the protection of human rights during and after the intervention. The concept emphasizes the importance of balancing the need for humanitarian action with respect for the principles and norms of the international system.
