Drawing on UN Charter interpretation, state practice, case law, and developments from Kosovo to Libya and Syria, it examines how law, power, and legitimacy interact in such interventions. By proposing lawful pathways for collective action when the Security Council is deadlocked, the book advances a principled framework for atrocity prevention within the UN system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wasantha Seneviratne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004756272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004756274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill Nijhoff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/09\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.10w x 0.88d","brand":"Wasantha Seneviratne","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48801233142015,"sku":"9789004756274","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-legality-of-humanitarian-intervention-wasantha-seneviratne-9789004756274","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
