Publisher's Synopsis

In 2005, after years of debates, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) adopted a resolution in the world summit for the protection of the population in situations of atrocities. The resolution demanded to act under the ethical and legal framework of the UN Charter and entailed the 'Responsibility to Protect' (R2P) the populations from genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. However, the question arises if a military intervention can be justified and equitable to protect and safeguard the masses with minimal aftermath.

This book sheds light on how the notion of R2P and Humanitarian Intervention can become a threat to global peace and the economy in general. The study explores the evidence gathered from the statistical data of the current global situation, legality under the international law through the lens of three different case studies and determine how armed intervention results in more harm to the civilian populations than good - harm which is long term and irreversible.
