committed crimes against humanity justifying an
international response
If the Bush doctrine justified the use of armed force to
prevent harm to westerners, then the Obama doctrine
should be to use the force of international law to stop
crimes against humanity or grave, man-made humanitarian
disasters. No place cries out for intervention like
Zimbabwe, where Robert Mugabe has been responsible for
countless deaths and epidemic disease. His actions –
particularly systematic violence against opponents and
the deprivation of humanitarian aid – should be viewed
as a crime against humanity, which would justify
humanitarian intervention without the government's
consent.
The UN Charter allows the security council to authorise
force when a country poses a "threat to the peace,
breach of the peace, or act of aggression". Precedent
exists for using this device to intervene in
humanitarian emergencies. In 1992, the security council
found that famine and deteriorating stability in Somalia
posed a "threat to international peace and security" and
sanctioned a US-led military force to restore peace and
provide aid. Unfortunately, Russia and China have
blocked security council sanctions against
