About the Book

Humanitarian intervention is a many layered and complex concept. While moral society has an obligation to stop deliberate and persistent serious human rights abuse, the direct use of force remains a contentious option alongside other strategies employed by the international community.

This study analyzes the various ethical positions, particularly consequentialism, welfare-utilitarianism and just war theory to unravel this intricate topic. Uniquely, the book goes beyond previous philosophical or ethical treatments of the subject to provide a more rounded and practical reflection on the lessons learned from the revival of humanitarian intervention as a tool of conflict resolution.



Table of Contents:

Review :
'Engages the legal, moral, and philosophical elements of the humanitarian condition and does so with a refreshing moral stance on an often ignored concept of humanitarian intervention using military force. His analysis is like a 'voice in the wilderness' among writers...' James L. Waite, Central Missouri State University and Utah State University, USA 'This handy volume yields succinct but authoritative insight into the perplexing problem of humanitarian intervention...The author's presentation and assessment provide refreshing insight into practical consequences...well-written and researched analysis...' American Society of International Law '...Janzekovic provides an indicative taste of the vibrancy of the humanitarian intervention debate. [The book] will appeal to advanced undergraduates but most particularly postgraduates and academics engaged in security studies.' Political Studies Review 'This is a passionate and heartfelt book, which is reightly determined in its efforts to make the case for armed intervention to protect people from war, genocide and oppression. In doing so, it is also important in its attempts to demystify conventional objections to intervention and emphasize victims' difficulties over interventionists' difficulties.'
