Humanitarian Intervention. Are we developing towards an international legal rule permitting the responsibility to protect

      Аннотация: The main argument of this research is to show that there are still many legal, political and practical problems associated with the issue of intervention for humanitarian purposes and the absence of the legal framework for carrying out such interventions enormously contributes to the increase of unauthorized and usually selective interventions as well as humanitarian disasters in the future. The research argues that although there is little hope that this norm is going to be developed in a treaty form, be it through the amendments to the UN Charter or otherwise, the possibility of the emergence of a rule on the Responsibility to Protect as a norm of customary law is not completely excluded.
