Abstract

Humanitarian intervention in general is a subject of legal controversy among researchers, especially as it is a topic that blurs legal standards with its political counterparts in the context of the humanization of military intervention or the militarization of humanitarian intervention. Humanitarian intervention has raised many theoretical and practical problems politically and legally, as it is related to the main pillars and principles of the international system and its protection from chaos, mainly embodied in the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of a state. However, on the other hand, we find that the principle of humanitarian intervention is rooted in international legislation, which has led to creating a contradiction and difficulty in reconciling between the two principles in the absence of consensus among international law scholars on the legitimacy of this principle, where theoretical and legal positions are divided between supporters and opponents.
