Approaching complex and controversial issues from contrasting departure points,they set out the conditions in which the UK’s involvement in humanitarian intervention can be ethically and pragmatically justified. They also call for preventative action when there is a real prospect of significant loss of life among civilians and argue that while the authorisation of the UN Security Council is desirable, it ought not to exercise a power of veto over intervention. But they also agree that no country has an obligation to intervene.
