Is military intervention the right way to stop mass atrocities globally?
In short: This debate examines whether Western nations should deploy armed forces to halt humanitarian crises or if they should prioritize diplomacy. Featuring two experts, the discussion challenges the assumption that military action is the most effective tool for protecting civilians in the modern era.
The conversation, moderated by Lindsey Hilsum, features Sanam Naraghi Anderlini and David Aaronovitch. Anderlini leads an international civil society network and directs a research center focused on women, peace, and security at the London School of Economics. Aaronovitch is a noted journalist and author.
Part of the Reimagining Victory series from the Imperial War Museums and Conciliation Resources, this talk investigates the ethics of interventionism. It contrasts the 'responsibility to protect' doctrine against the argument that Western countries should abandon their role as global police in favor of political and diplomatic alternatives.
