The evolution of the doctrine and practice of humanitarian intervention
"This book defends the emergence of a right of humanitarian intervention, and argues that state sovereignty is not incompatible with humanitarian intervention. After a thorough review of historical precedents, the book concludes by assessing contemporary developments in terms of sources of support for intervention on humanitarian grounds."--Jacket
