Humanitarian Intervention
Humanitarian Intervention :
While there is no agreed upon international definition of humanitarian intervention yet, it is a doctrine generally understood to mean coercive action by States involving the use of armed force in another State without the consent of its government, with or without authorization from the UN Security Council, for the purpose of preventing or putting to a halt gross and massive violations of human rights or international humanitarian law. The UN's operations in Northern Iraq and Somalia, and NATO's operation in Kosovo have all been termed humanitarian intervention. (OCHA)
