In this inspiring discussion on the pros and cons of humanitarian intervention, young participants examine human rights, economic sanctions, international law and wars waged in the name of humanity. Leading the discussion is Dr Philip Cunliffe, lecturer in international conflict and co-convenor of the Sovereignty And Its Discontents (SAID) working group. Philip argues that historically humanitarian intervention has done more harm than good and this is no mere accident since the problem lies with the idea itself.

3 weeks ago +1 + -very interesting debate analyzing the history and motives of humanitarian intervention giving a good perspective on the subject. i agree with the view that stronger countries should allow other to maintain their sovereignty and sort out their conflicts independently in order for their people to benefit from the process - however painful it may be.
