Humanitarian Intervention
Intervention--the deliberate intrusion of a state or an internationally legitimized force into a country deemed guilty of large scale systematic violation of human rights--is probably the most controversial issue in modern world affairs. It has been dubbed "humanitarian," as humanitarianism is its raison d'etre, but its critics point not only to its frequent failure to improve a bad situation, but on occasion to make matters worse. Nevertheless, Professor Teson shows, it is a moral imperative that is at least permitted, if not demanded, by international law. Teson first argues that respect for human rights is the primary justification for states & governments, & that, accordingly, tyrannical governments have no international legitimacy. Then, following a detailed analysis of the UN Charter, customary law, & the Nicaragua case, he examines state interventions in Bangladesh, Central Africa, Uganda, & Grenada, as well as United Nations authorized interventions in Iraq, Somalia, Haiti, Rwanda, & Bosnia.

A Philosophy Of International Law
Why should sovereign states obey international law? In this groundbreaking study Fernando Tesón argues that an overlapping respect for human rights has created a moral common ground among the countries of the world. It is this common set of values rather than self-interest that ultimately provides legitimacy to international law. Using the tools of moral philosophy Tesón analyzes the concepts of sovereignty, intervention, and national interest; the contributions of social contact theory, game theory, and feminist theory; and the puzzles of self-determination and group rights.
