Summary/Abstract: Humanitarian intervention has long been considered as a righteous act, essential to the victims, with the noble goal to respect and guarantee human rights. On the other hand, the use of humanitarian argument in order to justify a military, political or economic intervention of the northern states in the South represents a very usual practice since always. But when a violation of human rights on a large scale has been made, who has the legitimate right to intervene on behalf of what values and by what means? These are a few questions around which this article is written.
