Inhaltsangabe

This book examines interventions in East Timor, Sri Lanka, Sudan and Kosovo. The chapters explore and question UN debates about the doctrine of the responsibility to protect, both before and after its adoption in 2005, contrast state attitudes to international military intervention and analyse what takes place after intervention. It also discusses the ability of the Security Council to access reliable information and credible and transparent processes to enable it to make a determination on the occurrence of atrocities in a Member State.

In September 2004, he became the Director of the Institute for Ethics, Governance and Law, a joint initiative with the United Nations University, Griffith, ANU, and other universities. Foreign fellowships include Visiting Senior Research Fellow in Oxford and a Senior Fulbright to Harvard. Professor Sampford has written 117 articles and chapters and has completed 26 books and edited collections. In June 2008, his work was recognized by the ARC who invited the 20 researchers they thought had most clearly 'made a difference' to the Graeme Clarke Outcomes Forum held at Parliament House, Canberra.
