Reviews
The authors of this superb book have carefully identified the central moral questions raised by humanitarian intervention, such as whether respect for state sovereignty has priority over the defense of individual human rights, whether intervention is more difficult to justify than revolution, whether justification depends on the evidence at the time of action or on the actual outcome, and so on. On these and other issues, they argue for opposing views. The result is a lively, accessible, and comprehensive discussion of both the morality of humanitarian intervention and what the law that governs intervention ought to be. --Jeff McMahan, White's Professor of Moral Philosophy, University of Oxford Fernando Teson and Bas van der Vossen provide thoughtful and perceptive reflections on the ethics of intervention. Their disagreements are illuminating and strike at the heart of the philosophical debates over the permissibility of humanitarian intervention and, more broadly, the ethics of war. I highly recommend this book for both scholars and students of the ethics of intervention. --James Pattison, Professor of Politics, University of Manchester
