Paper long abstract:

The idea of humanitarian intervention has been a controversial topic. The idea of repulsive violence can best be understood if we understand the emerging concepts of use of force in international law. The purpose of this paper is to justify the idea of humanitarian intervention from legal, philosophical , strategic angles. In this pursuit, the paper will focus on the , ideas of Kant, Rawls, Habermas , and other philosophers. The legal aspect will focus on the interpretation of the UN Charter , the concept of universal jurisdiction . The strategic utility will focus on the possibility of de escalation in a war situation and state building.

The new dimension of Responsibility to protect is seen as a practical approach to the problem and how, it has changed the concept of sovereignty .
