Die Humanitäre Intervention in der ethischen Beurteilung

Is the community of states allowed to use force against a sovereign state in order to stop terrible suffering caused by governmental power? The authors of this volume deal systematically with this and other related issues. Unlike the far-reaching political discussions on the advantages and disadvantages of humanitarian intervention as well as the numerous assessments of their legitimacy in international law, this book is a collection of opinions from renowned experts who attempt an predominantly ethical assessment of humanitarian intervention, an assessment which includes the risks of abuse and failure as well as the dilemmas of humanitarian intervention between politics, international law and ethics.
