Synopsis

Intervention - the deliberate intrusion of a state or an internationally recognized force into a country deemed guilty of large scale systematic violation of human rights - is probably the most controversial issue in modern world affairs. Its critics point out its frequent failure to improve a situation. This title argues that it is a moral imperative that is at least permitted, if not demanded, by international law.
