Summary/Abstract: The use of force to protect human rights is the topic of this article. The author bypasses the debate surrounding the status of humanitarian intervention as a norm of international law, considering that it is currently far from being resolved. Instead, the author, by analyzing the rules of international human rights law, international criminal law, international humanitarian law and the political doctrine of the responsibility to protect, comes to the conclusion that the entire development of these ideas to date excludes the possibility of forcible unilateral interference in the internal affairs of a state for the purpose of protecting human rights. Humanitarian intervention, even in a modified, plural understanding of sovereignty as the foundation of the international legal order, acts as a foreign body, completely unnecessary and harmful.
