Why the international community should have intervened in Rwanda.
Kassner contends that the violation of the basic human rights of the Rwandan Tutsis morally obliged the international community to intervene militarily to stop the genocide. This compelling argument, grounded in basic rights, runs counter to the accepted view on the moral nature of humanitarian intervention. It has profound implications for our understanding of the moral nature of humanitarian military intervention, global justice and the role moral principles should play in the practical deliberations of states.
Joshua James Kassner is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Baltimore. He has published articles in the Journal of Political Philosophy, the Journal of Global Ethics, Contemporary Political Theory and the Human Rights Review.
