Summary/Abstract: In the article I examine arguments for and against humanitarian intervention as well as models for moral justification o f intervention. Arguments that define humanitarian intervention as rescue or relief are analysed most closely. The analysis shows that each model must give answers to the following questions: why should he intervened and what precisely does it mean, when to intervene and who should intervene. When possible answers are carefully analysed, it is obvious that there are sources o f manipulation closely connected to arbitrariness from interest and arbitrariness from interpretation. Last part of the article is devoted to the analysis o f the notion o f humanitarian intervention. Wars whose moral justification is supposed to be established a priori, before the examination, are designated as humanitarian interventions.
