humanitarian intervention  

Definición

  • Humanitarian intervention has become an important and contested part of geopolitics in the global era. It is both a practice and an evolving norm in international politics that propagates the use of military action or other forms of pressure within a sovereign target state by external actors, such as other states or international organizations such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the United Nations, to prevent or stop large-scale human rights violations or protracted suffering.
