Humanitarian Intervention: Three Ethical Positions1

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  28 September 2012

Abstract

The three ethical positions Laberge outlines are: (1) “Rawlsian ethics,” which are distinct from the ethics of Immanuel Kant and John Rawls himself; (2) the position of Michael Walzer adapted from J. S. Mill; and (3) the position most recently articulated by the Canadian philosopher Howard Adelman on the “Anglo-American” debate, which developed out of Walzer's position. These three positions, Laberge writes, are “an ethics of human rights, ethics of the right to a historical community, and an ethics of peace

8 I shall not discuss any possible duty to intervene, but only permission to intervene. On this distinction, see Luca, Donatella, “Intervention humanitaire: questions et reflexions,” International Journal of Refugee Law 5 (1993), 426–30CrossRefGoogle Scholar. On the other hand, I often hear jurists say that they prefer to see the Charter adjusted by interpretation and practice rather than by amendment. This would not, however, eliminate my problem. It would simply force me to reformulate it: Should one, in the light of the three ethical theories we will examine, hope for an adjustment of the Charter by interpretation and practice?

It is important to note, however, that “The Law of Peoples” only allows humanitarian intervention in “outlaw regimes”; not only liberal Rawlsian societies, but liberal societies in general, even societies that Rawls calls “hierarchical,” are protected by the principle of nonintervention.

54 In reply to a worry voiced by Slater and Nardin, Walzer could allow a fourth rule, which is really a variation on the first. The worry is that there could easily be a historical community that organizes itself to oppress its minorities. Would one then have to close one's eyes to this oppression out of respect for the metaphorical contract of this community? But Walzer could of course consider these minorities subcommunities similar to those engaged in a struggle for national liberation, and then the first rule of derogation would allow intervention to help them.
