• W276746121 abstract "Humanitarian Intervention and the Responsibility to Protect: Who Should Intervene? By James Pattison. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2010. 284 pp. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Humanitarian Intervention: An Introduction. By Aidan Hehir. New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2010. 303pp. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Humanitarian intervention is generally understood to be the trans-boundary use of military force in order to halt or avert large-scale and grave human suffering, and is a subject that has attracted much scholarly attention in recent decades. (2) While the subject has been part of the War discourse for centuries, and many important works on humanitarian intervention were published during the later Cold War years (e.g. Lillich, ed. 1973; Bull, ed. 1984; Teson, 1988), it was the various interventions of the 1990s--beginning with the enforcement of no-fly zones in Iraq following the first Gulf War and ending with the 1999 Kosovo intervention--that provoked the most sustained discussion of this topic. What has made the discussion about humanitarian intervention both fascinating and frustrating is not only the sheer volume of scholarship on this topic, but also the fact that this literature approaches the subject from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, including law, ethics, relations, political science, and philosophy. Furthermore, a number of developments during the 2000s have provided even more fodder for the discussion about humanitarian intervention--most notably the publication in 2001 of the Report of the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ISICC), The Responsibility to Protect (or R2P), which was subsequently adopted (in revised form) at the 2005 United Nations World Summit, reaffirmed by the UN Security Council, and endorsed by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in his 2009 Report. Despite suggestions that the practice of humanitarian intervention has been overshadowed by the global war on terror (e.g. Roth, 2005; Wheeler and Morris, 2006; Piiparinen, 2007), the subject nevertheless remains a prominent feature of discourse. The two books presently under review are among the latest contributions to this topic. Each does an admirable job of both taking stock of the debate as it has transpired over the past twenty years, and advancing new proposals that address some fundamental challenges to formulating a working doctrine of humanitarian intervention. After discussing the individual contributions of these books, this essay will utilize them as a point of departure in order to advance two observations about the broader discourse on humanitarian intervention: first, humanitarian intervention has become conflated with the idea of a responsibility to protect; and second, the legitimacy of humanitarian intervention and its status as an international are overstated in the extant scholarly literature, and this purported status has been fueled mainly by the writings of academics and advocates, not necessarily by state or institutional practice. Rather, recent state practice, while indicating some acceptance of limitations on the right to state sovereignty, is basically a continuation of past practice--inconsistent, to be sure, but not indicative of any new norm (Johnson 2006). The contribution of Aidan Hehir's book, Humanitarian Intervention: An Introduction, is best captured in the book's subtitle--that is, it serves as an accessible introduction for those who are not experts on the topic, such as university students or the layperson who simply wishes to know more about it. The structure of the book certainly lends itself to classroom use, as the chapters contain useful information boxes, discussion questions, and suggestions for further reading. In careful style, Hehir walks the reader through the difficult conceptual terrain of humanitarian intervention, locates the subject within Just War Theory, and illustrates how various theoretical perspectives on relations approach the topic. …" @default.
