“Humanitarian intervention” involves the use of military force or diplomatic efforts by states or international organizations to prevent or address humanitarian crises, such as genocide, war crimes, or widespread human rights abuses. This intervention is typically justified under the premise of protecting vulnerable populations or restoring peace in a conflict situation. While often motivated by altruism and a sense of moral obligation, such interventions can also be controversial, raising questions about sovereignty, legality, and the potential for unintended consequences. The balance between humanitarian goals and geopolitical interests complicates these actions in international relations.
