Chapter 1
The International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS) published its
report, The Responsibility to Protect, (hereafter referred to as the Report) in 2001.
1
The
Report followed the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, and the
subsequent US-led war on terror has largely overshadowed the debate on humanitarian
intervention which the Report aimed to reignite.
2
The Report has
,
however
,
provided answers
to issues that were central to the debate surrounding humanitarian intervention during the
1990s, namely, just cause, right authority and the balance between the protection of human
rights and sovereignty, but has
in the process sparked a new debate centring around the
principle it introduced, that of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P). The establishment of the
ICISS and the subsequent publication of its report were in response to a challenge laid down
by then Secretary-General of the United Nations (U.N.) Kofi Annan:
If humanitarian intervention is indeed an unacceptable assault on sovereignty, how should we re-
spond to a Rwanda, to a Srebrenica to gross and systematic violations of human rights that of-
fend every precept of common humanity?
3
The Canadian government, acting on the initiative and ingenuity of Foreign Minister Lloyd
Axworthy,
4
created an international commission which was tasked to "wrestle with the whole
range of questions legal, moral, operational and political rolled up in this debate, to consult
with the widest range of opinion around the world, and to bring back a report that would help
the Secretary-General and everyone else find some new common ground."
5
The Report
envisions a re-conceptualisation of sovereignty, adding to it a fourth dimension, namely that
sovereignty involves a threefold responsibility of states.
6
This re-conceptualisation does not
amount to a dilution or transfer of state sovereignty, but rather, a "necessary-re-
characterisation ...from sovereignty as control to sovereignty as responsibility in both internal
functions and external duties."
7
The Report's central theme is the notion that states are
responsible for the protection and well-being of their citizens, but where a state is either

unable or unwilling to discharge this responsibility, it is then transferred to the
international community.
8
Rather
than contradictory as was suggested in the previous
debate the Report asserts that the relationship between intervention on the basis of human
rights and sovereignty is complementary.
9
From its inception in 2001, the principle of R2P? has progressed to worldwide ac-
ceptance remarkably fast, as it was widely accepted by the international community at the
2005 World Summit.
10
As endorsed at the 2005 World Summit, the R2P is significantly
different from its articulation in the ICISS report.
11
A large portion of the literature dealing
with the evolution of the R2P focuses on the principle's progression from the ICISS report to
the HLP report, the Secretary-General's report and ultimately the 2005 World Summit
Outcome Document. This thesis aims to provide a discussion of the main factors influencing
the debate around the R2P and the principle's evolution, namely, the war on terror and the
2003 war in Iraq, the crisis in Darfur, and lastly, U.N. Security Council buy-in regarding the
ICISS articulated criteria to guide the use of military force in humanitarian intervention.
Toward this end, a background to humanitarian intervention is provided, from which the
focus shifts to a discussion of the ICISS and the R2P. Finally, the magnifying glass is cast on
the version of R2P as articulated in the World Summit outcome document and the most
significant events and arguments that have informed the debate around the R2P, and the
emergence of what is termed `R2P Lite'. The manner in which the U.S. has pursued the war
on terror, the waging of war in Iraq (2003), and the use of humanitarian justification to
legitimise that war, has been a significant factor influencing the debate around R2P.
12
Using
the debates on humanitarian intervention in Darfur as a reference point, an argument can be
made that the war in Iraq has "undermined the standing of the United States and the U.K as
norm carriers."
13
Furthermore, an argument can be made that an underlying theme in the

evolution of the R2P, and the reason for this thesis, is that we are currently experiencing a
changing of the writers of the rules of the international system.
14
Alex Bellamy argues that the main activists of humanitarian intervention have suf-
fered a "credibility crisis," with the real danger being that appeals to a R2P "will evaporate
amid disputes about where that responsibility lies."
15
Initially my understanding was that with
regards to the 2003 crisis in Darfur, R2P as a principle had failed to live up to the standards
that it set, and that this failure was the primary reason behind the international community's
response (or rather lack thereof). However, what I have come to discover was that by intro-
ducing the "language of a `responsibility to protect'," into the debates around Darfur, has
enabled those who are opposed to intervention "to legitimise arguments against action"
16
by
claiming that in a number of disputed cases the primary responsibility remains with the state
in question and has yet not been transferred to the international community.
17
This of course
returns the issue to the question of the balance between sovereignty and the protection of
human rights, and although the Report stresses that these two aspects are complementary, as
is mentioned above. It is apparent that this is an issue of contention not only in the debates
surrounding Darfur, but also in the evolution of the R2P, and as such, will receive special
attention here, but also because this issue speaks to what is one of the central principles of the
international system, namely that of sovereignty as well as the accompanying norm of non-
intervention.

Chapter 2
This chapter aims to provide a background to humanitarian intervention in order to provide a
basis from which to judge the significance of the Report, as well as the concepts and the ideas
that it introduced. Furthermore, a central theme of this chapter is the contentious nature of
humanitarian intervention, something which has had important implications in the debate
around R2P, as well as the principle's evolution. Toward this end, this chapter provides a
discussion on the definition and meaning of intervention, from where the focus will shift to
the concept of humanitarian intervention. The third part of the chapter deals with intervention
(including military) and the U.N. Charter, discussing firstly the argument that humanitarian
intervention is legal, and secondly, suggesting that it is illegal.
Intervention refers to a range of non-consensual actions, which is often believed to
"challenge the principle of state sovereignty"
18
directly, or
as Wheeler and Bellamy define it
"in terms of a coercive breach of the walls of the castle of sovereignty."
19
The term's actual
meaning can be drawn from the contexts within which it occurs, as well as the purposes for
which it is undertaken.
20
Where a target state provides unqualified consent or makes a
genuine request, actions are not considered intervention, and consent, if it is to be legally
valid, "should emanate from the legal government of a sovereign state and be freely given."
21
Furthermore, any means of interference that does not result in coercion in the domestic affairs
of a particular state is not considered intervention.
22
In fact, a primary objective of foreign
policy is to persuade both hostile and friendly states alike, to undertake changes in behaviour
that are in line with foreign policy goals.
23
Such a definition of intervention is of course not
exhaustive, as broader definitions of the term have always been in existence. For instance, in
the contemporary era where the international system is characterised by asymmetrical power
relations, foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic activities are perceived by some as
forms of `intervention'.
24
Because the issue of consent has been identified here as one criterion for determining
what is considered intervention and what is not, a brief return to it is warranted here. There
are some grey areas with regard to consent, and which relate to both military and economic

measures.
25
In some instances the call for military intervention from the target state potential-
ly involves "so much arm-twisting, including economic pressure from Washington-based
financial institutions, as to effectively constitute coercion."
26
A number of terms have
emerged in thinking about what constitutes coerced consent, including that of `coercive
inducement', and towards ensuring that the request for intervention is not in fact spurious,
rather than frame the term merely as a lack of consent, conceptualising it "as a matter of
factual intrusiveness"
27
may go some way towards achieving this objective. For a number of
definitions of intervention, rather than see consent as an absolute concept, it may be more
useful to think of it as a continuum.
28
There is no doubt that the non-consensual use of
military force against another state amounts to intervention, but similarly so too is the
utilization of non-military measures such as economic and political sanctions, international
criminal prosecution and arms embargoes.
29
"Intervention is a concept with a distinct charac-
ter. This character lies in the use of "forcible" or "non-forcible" measures against a state,
without its consent, solely on account of its internal or external behaviour."
30
Although the
most frequent end to which intervention has been employed is the protection and safeguarding
of significant interests of the intervening state(s), the justification of intervention on the basis
of human suffering has a long history, and will be discussed in the following section, I believe
it prudent to end this section with R. J. Vincent's definition of intervention:
Activity undertaken by a state, a group within a state, a group of states or an international organi-
zation which interferes coercively in the domestic affairs of another state. It is a discrete event hav-
ing a beginning and an end, and it is aimed at the authority structure of the target state. It is not
necessarily lawful or unlawful, but it does break a conventional pattern of international relations.
31
The roots of the notion of humanitarian intervention by foreign states following the
failure of a state to discharge its responsibility to its citizens can be traced to Hugo Grotius
,
writing in the 16
th
Century.
32
Grotius asserted that a foreign state could support the citizens of
another state in instances where the target state is engaged in repression of its citizens, who are
in turn engaged in legitimate resistance to such repression.
33
However, it is only after 1840
that the first references to humanitarian intervention emerged in international legal writing,

and two interventions stand out as primarily responsible for this.
34
The first was the 1827
British, French and Russian intervention in Greece to avert Turkish massacres and halt the
suppression of peoples with ties to insurgents, and the second was the 1860 French interven-
tion in Syria aimed at the protection of Maronite Christians.
35
From the period 1827 1906,
there were no fewer than five "prominent interventions undertaken by European powers
against the Ottoman Empire,"
36
and by the second decade of the 20
th
Century, the rationale
underlying intervention had widened to "include the protection of nationals living abroad."
37
State abuse of sovereignty by cruel and brutal treatment of those within the ambit of its
power, be those nationals or non-nationals was the primary cause for calls for intervention.
38
States that engaged in such behaviour were perceived as having opened the door to action by
any foreign state or group of states that were willing to intervene. Ellery Stowell illustrates
humanitarian intervention thus
:
"the reliance on force for the justifiable purpose of protecting
the inhabitants of another state from the treatment which is so arbitrary and persistently
abusive as to exceed the limits of that authority within which the sovereign is presumed to act
with reason and justice."
39
However, intervention has and continues to be approached and
regarded with suspicion, as many have cast a doubtful eye over the earliest instances of
humanitarian intervention. Critics of humanitarian intervention assert that given
the lack of an
impartial and unbiased mechanism by which to determine when humanitarian intervention is
permissible, states are likely to employ humanitarian justifications and motives as a pretext to
veil the pursuit of political, economic or strategic interests.
40
This argument has been extended
and those who find credence with this line of reasoning claim that humanitarian intervention
will become a weapon of the strong employed against the weak.
41
Furthermore, it is doubtless
that even when in situations where the goals were less questionable, "the paternalism of
intervening powers which were self appointed custodians of morality and human conscience,
as well as the guarantors of international order and security undermined the credibility of the
enterprise."

By the end of the nineteenth century a large number of legal scholars believed "that a
doctrine of humanitarian intervention existed in customary international law,"
43
although this
claim was disputed to a significant degree. The significance of these conclusions are contest-
ed, with some legal scholars arguing that such a doctrine was undoubtedly established in pre-
Charter state practice before 1945,
44
"and that it is the parameters, not the existence, of the
doctrine that are open to debate."
45
This claim is of course rejected, with other scholars
pointing firstly to state practice pre-1945, and the lack of support therein for a "right of
humanitarian intervention,"
46
and secondly, citing inconsistency in state practice, especially in
the twentieth century.
47
What is evident is that this idea of intervention underwent substantial
evolution prior to the emergence of an international system equipped with mechanisms and
institutions tasked with the protection of human rights and maintenance of international order.
The definition of humanitarian intervention given above is somewhat dated, and Ken-
neth Roth provides a definition thereof that is very much in line with that provided for
intervention above, namely, "military intervention without the consent of the government
whose territory is being invaded,"
48
but qualifies this by stating that only "the imperative of
stopping ongoing or imminent mass slaughter might justify the risk to life."
49
Fernando Tesón
provides a definition of humanitarian intervention that omits the issue of consent, depicting it
as "proportionate help, including forcible help, provided by governments (individually or in
alliances) to individuals in another state who are victims of severe tyranny (denial of human
rights by their own government) or anarchy (denial of human rights by collapse of social
order)."
50
What these authors share in terms of their understanding of humanitarian intervention,
is that both subscribe to a set of principles that either guide or justify/legitimate humanitarian
intervention. Roth identifies five factors which, once the abovementioned threshold is met,
determine whether military action can be labelled as humanitarian. First, the resort to military
force must be "the last reasonable option."
51
Secondly, the primary motive or purpose driving
the intervention must necessarily be humanitarian.
52
Third, the intervention must be carried
out with the outmost respect for international humanitarian law and human rights, fourth, it
must not cause more harm than good, and finally, the intervention "should ideally, though not

necessarily be endorsed by the U.N. Security Council or another body with significant
multilateral authority."
53
Tesón on the other hand provides five principles which are intended
to guide humanitarian interventions; firstly, putting an end to anarchy or tyranny must be the
aim to which justifiable intervention is directed.
54
Secondly, the doctrine of double effect
"the permissibility of causing serious harm as a side effect of promoting some good end,
coupled with an adequate theory of costs and benefits"
55
- apply to and govern humanitarian
intervention, as it does all wars. Third, in general terms, it is only the most severe cases of
tyranny or anarchy that satisfy the call for humanitarian intervention.
56
Fourth, the interven-
tion must be welcomed by the victims of anarchy,
57
and finally, "humanitarian intervention
should preferably receive the approval or support of the community of democratic states."
58
Thus, although these two authors differ on the precise principles to guide humanitarian
intervention, these examples are provided to illustrate the evolution of the concept. What this
also shows is that one will be hard pressed to find a uniform definition of humanitarian
intervention, that the principles guiding it are likely to overlap but will have some divergence,
and that humanitarian intervention remains a contentious issue in the international system.
The 20
th
Century restriction on the "use of force in intervention"
59
can be traced to the
Peace of Westphalia, concluded in 1648.
60
Furthermore, the initial "restrictions on recourse to
war"
61
were envisioned in the 1928 Kellog-Briand Pact, and the system later crystallized into
its contemporary form, as expressed in the U.N. Charter. The threat or actual "use of force
against the territorial integrity and political independence of states"
62
has since 1945 been
prohibited under the U.N. Charter's Article 2 (4), which grants exception "for the collective
use of force under Chapter VII,"
63
and for collective or individual self-defence in a situation of
an armed attack under Article 51.
64
Despite the fact that the prohibition on the use of force
appears explicitly clear, questions regarding the legality of humanitarian intervention, as for
instance in 1946
,
a prominent legal scholar continued his argument that intervention is
permissible by law when a "state is guilty of cruelties against its nationals in a way that denied

their fundamental human rights and shocked the conscience of humankind."
65
However, with
regard to the forceful intervention by a state or group of states aimed at the protection of "the
citizens of another state, the Charter is silent."
66
Turning to the question of whether or not humanitarian intervention is legal in terms of
the U.N. Charter, there are two opposing points of view on this issue. Firstly, there are those
who assert that not only is humanitarian intervention legal, but it is also legitimate.
67
These
proponents of humanitarian intervention "frequently cite the purposes of the UN Charter."
68
Article 1(3) of the Charter states that an explicit function of the U.N. relates to the achieve-
ment of international co-operation in the promotion and encouragement of respect for funda-
mental freedoms and human rights for all
,
irrespective of sex, religion, language or race.
Furthermore, the preamble to the Charter "reaffirm[s] faith in fundamental human rights."
69
Article 13(1)(b) affords the General Assembly the authority and power to facilitate the
achievement and fulfilment of human rights, and Article 55(c) requests that the U.N. promote
"universal respect for, and observance of, human rights and fundamental freedoms."
70
Article
62(2) affords the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) the power and authority to "make
recommendations for the purpose of promoting respect for, and observance of, human rights
and fundamental freedoms for all,"
71
and Article 68 empowers the Council to establish
commissions for the promotion and advancement of human rights.
72
Although these provi-
sions are not a comprehensive list of all the articles of the U.N. Charter that are concerned
with the protection of human rights, it is nonetheless clear from the abovementioned articles
that the promotion and advancement of human rights are a central concern of the U.N.
Charter. Furthermore, the argument can undoubtedly be made that in certain instances "hu-
manitarian intervention is consistent with the objectives of the U.N. Charter.
73
Article 2(4) of the U.N. Charter emphasises the prohibition of
the use or threat of
force "against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state."
74
Regarding
political independence and territorial integrity, it is arguable that an authentic humanitarian

intervention results in neither political subjugation nor territorial conquest.
75
Firstly, the rule
asserts that the territorial integrity of a state must be protected from the use of force by
another, meaning that "a state's territory must be kept integral that is, no parts of it may be
forcibly separated and given over to another state."
76
Thus, provided that the territorial
boundaries of the state in question remain intact, the argument can be made that humanitarian
intervention does not amount to a breach of Article 2(4).
77
If one perceives the political
independence of a given state as referring to the "right of the people of a state to political
independence,"
78
then humanitarian intervention directed towards the protection of the people
"would affirm the state's political independence, rather than violate it."
79
This view has been
extrapolated and the conclusion has been drawn that even in the event that the government of
the state in question is overthrown, its political independence is left unthreatened,
80
as through
its oppression of its citizens, the government is perceived as having suffered a loss of legiti-
macy.
81
Turning to the argument that humanitarian intervention is illegal; the approach which
asserts that humanitarian intervention is in fact legal is a claim which appeals to an individu-
al's sense of compassion and justice.
82
However, an argument can be made "that such an
approach does not accord with a commonsense construction of the UN Charter."
83
Whereas
humanitarian intervention is not explicitly mentioned in the Charter,
84
the notion of sovereign-
ty and the norm of non-intervention that flows from it are clearly articulated by the Charter.
Two provisions of the Charter cast doubt over whether "forcible self-help to protect human
rights"
85
remains acceptable in terms of international law. Firstly, in terms of Article 2(4) of
the Charter, all states reject "the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or
political independence of any state,"
86
which is qualified by the provision relating to self-
defen
c
e which is contained in Article 51. In the second instance, Article 2(7) prohibits U.N.
intervention "in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state,"
