Summary/Abstract: Humanitarian intervention refers to a state using military force against another state. There is no one standard or legal definition of humanitarian intervention; the field of analysis (such as law, ethics, or politics) often influences the definition that is chosen. Differences in definition include variations in whether humanitarian interventions is limited to instances where there is an absence of consent from the host state; whether humanitarian intervention is limited to punishment actions; and whether humanitarian intervention is limited to cases where there has been explicit UN Security Council authorization for action. Peacekeeping is an activity that aims to create the conditions for lasting peace. It is distinguished from both peacebuilding and peace-making.
