Rwanda and the Moral Obligation of Humanitarian Intervention

Discover the profound insights of Joshua James Kassner in his compelling book, Rwanda and the Moral Obligation of Humanitarian Intervention, published by Edinburgh University Press in 2014. This thought-provoking work spans 248 pages and delves deep into the harrowing events of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide, where ethnic Tutsis faced a horrific mass slaughter at the hands of ethnic Hutus.

Kassner argues that the egregious violations of fundamental human rights during this tragedy created a moral imperative for the international community to intervene. He explores the legal and ethical dimensions of humanitarian intervention against the backdrop of international law, making it essential reading for those interested in Africa, human rights, and the principles of intervention. This book not only sheds light on the past but also raises critical questions about the responsibilities of nations in the face of such atrocities.
