Council on Foreign Relations Senior Fellow for Defense Policy Janine Davidson discusses the concept of military humanitarian intervention for CFR Education’s “Humanitarian Intervention in South Sudan” case study. Davidson says a humanitarian intervention is an intervention to help civilians that includes a military presence. In this context, she explains the “responsibility to protect,” a norm that calls for international intervention to protect civilians when their government is not doing so. But she notes the tension between this norm and respect for sovereignty. Using such examples as Somalia, Rwanda, and the Balkans, Davidson outlines the variety of missions encompassed under humanitarian intervention, from disaster relief to more complex interventions in conflict zones. She then reviews policy considerations surrounding humanitarian intervention, including the root causes of the situation, international authority for the mission, military logistics, exit strategies, and the costs and benefits of unilateral versus multilateral action. Humanitarian and disaster assistance have become frequent tasks for the U.S. military, Davidson notes, sparking debate within the Pentagon over whether and how to prioritize this type of mission. • Sign up for the CFR Education Newsletter to receive global affairs resources like this straight to your inbox: https://link.cfr.org/join/66n/hp-cfr-... • Subscribe to our channel for more videos that cover the issues, trends, and concepts you need to know to navigate our complicated world: https://link.cfr.org/join/66n/hp-cfr-... • CFR Education, from the Council on Foreign Relations, aims to close the global literacy gap in our country by providing accessible, accurate, and authoritative resources that build the knowledge, skills, and perspective high school and higher education students need to understand and engage with today’s most pressing global issues. • Visit our website: https://education.cfr.org/ • Follow us on social media: • Facebook: / cfr_education • Twitter: / cfr_education • #teaching #humanitarianintervention #military
