  • More about France, Humanitarian Intervention and the Responsibility to Protect

Eglantine Staunton's book highlights France's overlooked and underestimated international role in human protection, combining case studies and interviews with key actors to offer a valuable tool for understanding the interplay between domestic and international norms.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 224 pages
Publication date: 18 October 2022
Publisher: Manchester University Press


Since the end of the Cold War, the protection of human life has been a key priority of the international community. Though France has been at the forefront of these humanitarian efforts, its international role in and long-standing commitment to human protection overlooked and underestimated. Eglantine Staunton offers a compelling corrective to prevailing assumptions about France's foreign policy, examining its relationship to the dominant international principles established by the humanitarian intervention of the 1990s and the UN's Responsibility to Protect doctrine in 2005. Combining case studies of the interventions in Kosovo, Rwanda, and Iraq, among others, and interviews with key actors including Gareth Evans and Bernard Kouchner, Staunton's innovative theoretical framework offers a valuable tool for understanding the interplay between domestic and international norms.
