Human rights, peace operations, and humanitarian intervention have emerged in recent decades as important components of international law and practice. Humanitarian intervention is often justified in the name of human rights and the rule of law, but there has been little empirical study of the institutions and individuals conducting the work of human rights and the rule of law in the field. This book offers an important analysis of law and expertise in humanitarian peace operations. It explores humanitarian intervention through the practices of international human rights experts in inter-governmental organization field missions and the key legal texts that authorize and direct their work.
