What are some of the arguments in support of humanitarian interventions? Mark the option that is CORRECT:
• Sovereign states are expected to act as guardians of their citizens' security. When they fail to meet this responsibility, they must implement a humanitarian intervention on their territories.
• States are responsible for protecting fundamental human rights. One of the principal purposes of the UN system is to uphold such rights. If a country is not meeting their moral responsibilities, they are not protected by international law.
• States are the only authority that has the monopoly over the legitimate use of force. Therefore guaranteeing the national security and the security of its citizens is the responsibility of sovereign governments.
• Two of the main guarantors of state security are the principles of sovereignty and non-interference. These are the foundations of the rules-based liberal order established at the end of the Second World War.
• Humanitarian interventions are a rhetorical device to justify the forcible interference of the strong in the affairs of the weak.
