The Notion Of Humanity And A War For Humanity

">rn Abstract rn rnrnThe term “humanity” takes important part in different law disciplines, such as criminal law, war law, humanitarian law etc., although some authors like Coupland (2001) think that this term has ambiguity about its definition. When it is thought that there is an essential link between this term and the notion of humanitarian intervention andthis notion involves economic sanctions or military operations, which causes ironically deaths of soldiers of intervener statesat the same time, to end indispensable human right violations occurring in another state, the importance of what humanity is getting higher value from day to day. When it comes to current doctrine of humanitarian intervention, which is called Responsibility to Protect (R2P),it is clear that it is based on the principles of Just War Tradition so the thoughts of philosophers, for instance Thomas Aquinas, Immanuel Kant,Francisco de Vitoria etc., about this tradition will be the corner stone to understand what the legality and morality of an intervention is, in which conditions a humanitarian intervention can be performed and why this conditions are necessary.rnrn rn rn
