Law, Morality, and International Armed Intervention

Showing how international law is often manipulated in the debate about humanitarian intervention, this book explains why the Liberian case provides an opportunity to challenge UN and the Economic Community of West African States' (ECOWAS') approach. It argues that ECOWAS' and the UN's justifications for moving away from these norms are flawed.

International law is often manipulated in the debate about humanitarian intervention. The Liberian case provides an opportunity to challenge the UN and The Economic Community of West African States'' (ECOWAS'') new approach. ECOWAS and the UN''s justifications for moving away from the current norms are flawed. No enlightened person would disagree with the values of peace, democracy, human rights, and economic development. This book, however, explores whether these goals be pursued within the current framework or outside it.
