Abstract

Kosovo" has compelled us to revisit the troubled law of "humanitarian intervention." The terrible facts in and relating to Kosovo in 1998-1999 are known and little disputed. The need to halt horrendous crimes against humanity, massive expulsions and war crimes, was widely recognized. NATO intervention by military force was widely welcomed, but it was also sharply criticized. And it inspired much searching of soul by students of international law.
