This book argues that humanitarian intervention had far more exploitative effects and draws on feminist, postcolonial, legal and psychoanalytic theory to provide an innovative reading of the narratives accompanying humanitarian intervention, a field which has received very little critical analysis. It concludes by considering what has been lost in the transference of concerns from humanitarian intervention to the war on terror UR - https://portal.knchr.org/Library/My%20eBooks/Reading.Humanitarian.Intervention.Human.Rights.and.the.Use.of.Force.in.International.Law.pdf ER -
