Abstract :

This  article  presents  the debate  between  realists  and  constructivists over the issue  of  humanitarian  intervenstion  focusing  on  its  theoretical  foundations. The article seeks to fill the gap by highlighing on two contending perspectives of  International  Relations;  realism  and  constructivism.  On  the  one  side, realists  argue  that  humanitarian  intervention  is  nothing  but  the  diplomatic instrument  of  foreign  policy  conducted  to  achieve  the  national  interest.  It, however, does not have to follow in the abstract principles. Realists stress that humanitarian  intervention  is  political  in  itself.  On  the  other  side, constructivists  stand  by  the  nature  of  states’  attitude  to  comply  with international rules and norms. They argue against the realists’ penchant to the national  interest  behind  foreign  policy  action.  Humanitarian  intervention  is construed  as  the  act  of  states  to  uphold  humanitarian  norms  in  the international  community.  Finally,  constructivists  consider  the  state  as  an altruist actor caring about foreigners oppsing the realist view of the state’s self help oriented policy.
