Summary, etc |
Presents an exploration of the philosophy underpinning Western humanitarian intervention. The principle of the lesser evil--the acceptability of pursuing one exceptional course of action in order to prevent a greater injustice--has long been a cornerstone of Western ethical philosophy. From its roots in classical ethics and Christian theology, to Hannah Arendt's exploration of the work of the Jewish Councils during the Nazi regime, the author explores its development in three key transformations of the problem: the defining intervention of Medecins Sans Frontieres in mid-1980s in Ethiopia; the separation wall in Israel-Palestine; and international and human rights law in Bosnia, Gaza and Iraq. ... he shows how military and political intervention acquired a new humanitarian acceptability and legality in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. --Adapted from publisher description. |
