"Humanitarian intervention might be thought of as the first example of the global enforcement of human rights--contested, incomplete, uncertain, but still an example of something that has not existed until today. How far should we move beyond such humanitarian intervention? Do genocide (or famine) victims have a right to be rescued?" (INTERNATIONALE POLITIK) The author discusses the question of "how much enforcement should international society assume" with regards to humanitarian intervention in situations of mass murder, ethnic cleansing, slave labor, etc.
