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.
