Abstract
In this opinion article, Mient Jan Faber offers a unique insight on a series of recent conflicts. Faber’s first-hand experience of warzones, and personal engagement with many important actors, allows him to lend welcome colour to the debate on humanitarian intervention. He employs this wealth of experience to support his thesis that the ‘Responsibility to Protect’ doctrine has been hijacked, and is now a mere ‘Trojan Horse’ for military intervention for selfish reasons.
