Taking an action by the international community, individual states or their organizations with the aim of protecting citizens in some country from the tyranny of their own authorities has been defined as a humanitarian intervention. According to international law the use of power as an instrument in international relations is, however, prohibited and therefore, any approach to humanitarian intervention is stretched out between the challenges of moral responsibility and limitations of legislature. The subject of discussion in this article is the legislative aspect of humanitarian intervention by force. The research is focused on law and legitimating of humanitarian intervention by force without the United Nations Security Council approval. .

With an introduction by James N. Hyde, this is an examination of some of the negotiations which states have carried on under the auspices of internat'l org. Specific cases in which mediation, conciliation, & good offices were used as techniques are presented. They represent situations of power politics as tempered by the effect of internat'l org, or the beginnings of a growing body of procedural or objective law. The United Nations Charter places primary responsibility for the maintenance of peace upon the Security Council. Some settlement-of -dispute patterns have begun to emerge which will influence the law of the future. Developments of the cold war led to a turning to the broader role of dispute-settlement culminating in the Uniting for Peace Resolution of 1950. The Charter gives increased power to the Secretary-General in that he is permitted to bring certain questions to the Security Council & to include items on the Assembly's provisional agenda. Nations are granted the right of individual & collective defense. Any nation may bring to the attention of the Council or Assembly any matter which might lead to internat'l friction. The Assembly & Council have followed a liberal policy in inviting non-member states to participate in their respective discussions. In serious situations the Council or Assembly usually undertake provisional measures either to restore peace or prevent a further deterioration of the situation. A majority of the questions coming before both bodies are referred to a subsidiary group for detailed investigation or conciliation. Both bodies have been reluctant to create permanent subsidiary machinery for the settlement of disputes. There has been a trend toward the use of single mediators & representatives. The manner of approvals of the parent organ & the composition of the subsidiary group have played a major part in influencing the confidence of the parties in the group's operations. The effectiveness of the UN would probably be increased through greater development of peaceful settlement processes through regional org's. The major problem is to find ways of increasing its power & prestige. B. J. Keeley.

Introduction to International Disaster Management, Fourth Edition, offers an unbiased, global perspective for students and practitioners alike. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the disaster management profession, covering the varied sources of risk and vulnerability, the systems that exist to manage hazard risk, and the many different stakeholders involved, from individuals to global organizations. This text also serves as a reference on scores of disaster management topics, including various technological and intentional hazards, on international disaster management structures and systems, on global humanitarian spending and support, and much more. Taking a real-world approach with considerable illustration through case studies and recent and historical disaster events, this book prepares students interested in joining the disaster management community to understand the work they will be doing. In addition, it assists those who already work with the disaster management community by helping them better navigate this complex environment

The current international trade regime is flawed, unjust and in need of redress. It largely ignores concerns for global economic justice, and fails those most in need of a strategy to help them move out of extreme poverty. It exacerbates inequalities, both between states in global society and within individual countries. It also creates a competitive pressure on producers to use the differing legal standards and enforcement between countries to externalize important environmental, social /human rights and cultural costs that harm others now or in the future. In the first two chapters, this dissertation draws out, and considers critically, the position several philosophers with strong, well known, positions on economic justice have taken in relation to international trade in order to construct a working baseline for justice in international trade . In the third chapter, it then discusses the two standard models for international trade, the self-regulating free trade model and the protectionist alternative, considering critiques of, and support for, the models from the point of view of economists concerned about poverty, inequality and environmental and social issues. In the fourth chapter several alternative models, proposed by philosophers or economists, for a more just international trade regime are examined and evaluated. In the fifth chapter, a new alternative model for a more just international trade regime is presented, which takes into account; concerns for reducing absolute poverty in global society, reduction of economic inequalities that lead to political inequality both in international society and within states, and the concern for ensuring that social and environmental costs for others, now and in the future are accounted for.
