HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTION AS AFRICAN UNION’S RESPONSE MECHANISM TO THREATS TO PEACE AND SECURITY
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2014, Vol 171, Issue 1
Abstract
In the last decade challenges and threats to peace and security in Africa have played a crucial role in shaping the regional cooperation mechanisms created to ensure stability on the continent. Along with the establishment of the African Union (AU), an institutional framework for cooperation in the field of emergency response capabilities were re-developed. The result of that work was equipping the African Union with new response mechanisms to the destabilization of the situation. An important role in crisis response is played by humanitarian interventions.In this article the author discusses the possibility of the African Union’s humanitarian interventions to protect basic human rights. War crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity are recognised by African leaders as threats to peace and security.
