| dc.description.abstract | With more and more humanitarian interventions taking place around the world. This thesis attempts to create a set of principles that any intervenor should adhere to for a just humanitarian intervention. This is done by analyzing different theoretical approaches like realism, post-colonialism that do not support humanitarian intervention and liberalism that allows for intervention in specific cases. The final framework is based on a limited liberal theoretical approach, influenced by important arguments from both opposing theories. It lists two threshold criteria; large scale loss of life and large scale ethnic cleansing. It also lists three principles for intervention; right intention, prudence & last resort and reasonable prospect & means. The second part is an empirical analysis of the United Nations Security Council with help of the politi, politics and policy approach. This showed that the UNSC is at this point and time lacking to adhere to the criteria set out in the moral framework and therefore lacks the ability to perform just humanitarian interventions. | en_US |
