Book Description:

Philosophers Fernando Tesón and Bas van der Vossen offer contrasting views of humanitarian intervention: as a war aimed at ending tyranny, or as unjustifiable violence. Fernando Tesón argues that humanitarian interventions are sometimes permissible; Bas van der Vossen argues that as a rule they are not. The authors use the tools of modern analytic philosophy, in particular just war theory, to substantiate their claims.
