Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the author will try to explain the interrelation between human security and humanitarian interventions, primarily through the prism of the approach called “Responsibility to Protect” (hereinafter: R2P) and the United Nations practices. By examining this approach we will try to give answer to the question whether it is supported by the applicable law and does it have a practical value, namely whether the states and the international community (embodied in the Organisation of United Nations) can be expected to follow the R2P approach, or what could be the implications for the sovereignty of states if that approach became common practice. Some of the issues to which we will attempt to give answers are the following: can we, in order to achieve human security, compromise the state security? And, does a state, by widespread and grave violation of fundamental human rights, lose right to sovereignty?
