This book analyses humanitarian-intervention's evolution from the nineteenth century through to the contemporary Russia-Ukraine War to determine whether a right to humanitarian-intervention exists under customary international law. It concludes that any such right has since been extinguished under international law.

This book assesses whether humanitarian-intervention exists under customary international law. The main question being whether there is a right to humanitarian-intervention, and if so, according to what criteria, using historical analysis to determine its existence. By combining historical and legal methods running from the nineteenth century Ottoman Empire through to the contemporary Russia-Ukraine War, this book determines that such a right has been extinguished under international law.
