Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the author explores the problem of humanitarian interventions and critically examines theories of intervention. According to those theories, the duty to react is one of the key arguments for intervening. However, it turns out that such a duty is, as a rule, linked to some political interest which in fact constitutes a primary motive for intervention. Humanity, therefore, fails in such actions that are, as a rule, military and have a coercive and destructive character.
