Humanitarian Interventions and Sovereignty: Legal and Ethical Dimensions

Abstract

Humanitarian interventions, driven by the need to prevent widespread human rights abuses, often challenge the principle of state sovereignty. This article explores the legal and ethical dimensions of humanitarian interventions, examining historical precedents, international law frameworks, and ethical debates. By analyzing key case studies, the article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the tension between humanitarian imperatives and sovereign rights. It concludes with recommendations for reconciling these conflicting principles to promote global justice and stability.
