| dc.description.abstract | Humanitarian intervention has been one of the fast-evolving concepts in contemporary international law; hence states appear to proceed with practicing it on the grounds of usually humanitarian objectives. As the phrase implies Humanitarian intervention is generally understood as the instance where states unilaterally or collectively intervene in a third state where the population is suffering seriously, due to internal conflicts, repression or state failure, and the state in question is unable or unwilling to halt or avert the suffering. Historically it started with the justification of protecting citizens of a nation residing in a third state. But eventually, it evolved to protecting humans irrespective of their identity. The practices of such intervention prevailed both in the pre-Charter era as well as during the post-Charter period. The intervention in South Sudan through the authorization of the United Nations Security Council is one of such instances. Due to this; and in particular to the interventions in the Charter period, it is argued that Humanitarian Intervention has a legal basis under international law. Accordingly, the Thesis tries to assess the concept of Humanitarian Intervention in light of international law; and specifically reviews the intervention in South Sudan with respect to international law. | en_US |
