Description

This book argues that the international community has a moral duty to intervene on behalf of a population affected by a natural hazard when their government is either unable or unwilling to provide basic, life-saving assistance.

The work draws on law, international relations theory, and political philosophy to articulate that non-response to a natural hazard is unethical.

In providing policy suggestions the author articulates what should happen based on an ethical analysis.

Readers will thus gain an ethical lens with which to view intervention in the aftermath of a natural hazard.

The book encourages readers to consider the nuances of arguments from various disciplines about whether or not intervention is appropriate.

Whilst arguing throughout that an intervention policy in response to natural hazards should be developed by the international community, the study also accounts for why intervention should only be used in very limited situations.

This interdisciplinary approach makes the book essential reading for researchers, academics and policy-makers working in the areas of international law, humanitarian studies, human rights, international relations and political science.
