For the first time since the founding of the African Union, a resolution about direct intervention in a conflict that involved wide-ranging abuse of human rights was accepted on a pan-continental level. Here, Irit Back looks at the changes in attitudes towards the ever-problematic tension between the concepts of humanitarian intervention and state sovereignty, using the example of the African Union's intervention in Darfur to illustrate this unique pan-continental approach to conflict resolution and peace-keeping. Additionally, Back analyses the challenges which international task forces, including AMIS and its successor the United Nations-African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID), have faced ever since. Including an examination of the situation in the wake of the declaration of independence of South Sudan in 2011, this book offers a unique perspective on the problem of internationally organised intervention in local conflicts."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Intervention & sovereignty in Africa :conflict resolution & international organisations in DarfurHumanitarian interventionSudanDarfurViolence in societyBICSudanHistoryDarfur Conflict, 2003-Humanitarian interventionViolence in society.962.7043Back Irit1504572UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910798250703321Intervention and sovereignty in Africa3733635UNINA
