Humanitarian Intervention
Humanitarian Intervention :
The coercive interference in a sovereign state to prevent or end massive human rights violations. Generally thought to be prohibited by international law and the UN Charter, it has enjoyed increased international support since the brutal conflicts, ethnic cleansing and genocides witnessed in the 1990s. NATO's 1999 bombing of Serbia to protect Kosovo's remains the most controversial instance of humanitarian intervention. See: Responsibility To Protect
