This legal arrangement is fundamentally problematic; clearly, if the only legal means by which a humanitarian intervention can be launched is with the Security Council’s approval then any putative action is subject to the whims of the P5. This means that the “international” response to a mass atrocity is dependent on the P5’s respective national interests; they can collectively ignore and/or fudge an issue or use—or just threaten to use—their veto to block a resolution calling for action. The problem with the law on humanitarian intervention is thus not what is proscribes but rather what it fails to compel, and R2P has not altered this.
This was certainly not the first time the Council had proclaimed to be acting to avert a humanitarian crisis. 89 The Security Council’s action in response to the situation in Haiti in 1994 has a number of parallels with the Libyan intervention. In July 1994, Resolution 940 authorized the establishment of “a multinational force” with the power “to use all necessary means” to remove the military junta that had ousted President Aristide in 1991. 90 In fact, more parochial motivations aligned to create the conditions for the resolution.
