Dreptul la ingerinţă şi dihotomia preempţie – prevenţie
The right to intervene and the preemption-prevention dichotomy

Summary/Abstract: This Paper addresses the dichotomy between preemption and prevention and the inherent debates on the use of force pursuant to international law norms. Beyond the disputes on these concepts, what really counts is the use of both practices in the international arena, i.e. the practice of legality, legitimacy and effectiveness of intervention. Philosophy of preventive/ preemptive actions, although controversial, suggests the need to redefine the classical sovereignty based on its Westphalian coordinates, projecting this way a new strategic vision folded on the structural constants of the new strategic environment (weapons of mass destruction, terrorism, failed states).
