Non-Military Intervention Through Sanctions

Humanitarian intervention has been perceived as one of the most debatable points between diplomats, jurists and scientists for a long time. It is also a very complex and multifaceted issue, which incorporates a number of ethical, international and military aspects. At the present time the topic of humanitarian intervention is seen primarily in terms of the application of military forces in order to achieve a specific aim, which may only in certain cases be humanitarian. However, the relevant nonmilitary intervention, expressed in a variety of sanctions, should also be considered.
