Humanitarian intervention :
(i) is a military intervention carried out in pursuit of humanitarian rather than strategic objectives
(ii) presumes the acceptance of such universal doctrines as human rights
(iii) gets support from the people as it is fought for a moral cause
Answer: B
Only (i) and (ii) are correct.
Humanitarian intervention is military intervention in another state to prevent or end large-scale suffering, such as genocide or mass atrocities, pursued for humanitarian rather than strategic ends (i). It presupposes the acceptance of universal moral standards such as human rights, which can override the norm of non-intervention (ii).
Statement (iii) is not part of the concept: such interventions are often controversial at home and abroad, and public support is not guaranteed by a moral cause. So the codes including (iii) are wrong, and 'only (i)' leaves out (ii).
