TL;DR: The question about possible remedies including military intervention to avoid or to put an end to massive violations of human rights committed by a state towards its own citizens or in situations where state authorities critically lack effectiveness has been extensively debated since the issuance in 2001 of the report of the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS) on the responsibility to protect as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The question about possible remedies, including military intervention, to avoid or to put an end to massive violations of human rights committed by a state towards its own citizens or in situations where state authorities critically lack effectiveness has been extensively debated since the issuance in 2001 of the report of the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS) on the responsibility to protect. After a succinct and critical review of the ICISS’ report and the subsequent international instruments dealing with the responsibility to protect, this contribution focuses on the positions adopted by states, especially over the last three years at the General Assembly and at the Security Council of the United Nations on humanitarian intervention as a ‘corollary’ of the responsibility to protect doctrine. It appears that humanitarian intervention aimed at implementing the responsibility to protect is not only feared as imperialistic by several weak states, but it also significantly fails to find an unconditioned support even amongst the most powerful states. Given its extreme and multifaceted ambiguity, which is discussed in the last section of this contribution, the innovative content of the purported ‘emerging norm’ on the responsibility to protect, as well as its prospect to emerge in the future, remain rather unclear.

TL;DR: The present writer's account of the content of Mill's doctrine of liberalism suggests that that doctrine was less libertarian and less simply individualistic than other writers have been willing to allow as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The present writer’s account of the content of Mill’s doctrine of Liberalism suggests that that doctrine was less libertarian and less simply individualistic than other writers have been willing to allow. On his view Mill’s political, ethical, sociological and religious writings were an attempt to fill the place left vacant by the decrepitude of Christianity, and to provide a doctrine or religion which all men would find suitable as they passed out of the theological and metaphysical stages of world history, as Comte had conceived it, into the positive, scientific age which was about to arrive. Like Marx, Mill believed that his doctrine was particularly suitable to the historical conditions by which mankind was now confronted: like Marx he was assured of its indefeasibility. Mill’s Liberalism no less than Marx’s Marxism claimed superiority over all competing doctrines. In the hands of both, a combination of spiritual self-confidence, synthetic history, unargued rhetoric and one-dimensional analysis of human existence produced a body of thinking whose object was to insinuate into the minds of men both an understanding of the nature of existence and a way of living practically in it which was characteristic of the orthodoxies against which Mill appeared to be protesting.

TL;DR: The authors examines the relationship between revolutionary doctrine and the practical considerations of military planning before and after the American Revolution and discusses the important ideological role of the military in the early political life of the United States.
Abstract: This first study to discuss the important ideological role of the military in the early political life of the nation examines the relationship between revolutionary doctrine and the practical considerations of military planning before and after the American Revolution. Americans wanted and effective army, but they realized that by its very nature the military could destroy freedom as well as preserve it. The security of the new nation was not in dispute but the nature of republicanism itself.Originally published 1982.
