PL

Artykuł poświęcony jest ukazaniu trudności jakie napotyka społeczność międzynarodowa przy uruchomieniu mechanizmu interwencji humanitarnej w sytuacji masowych naruszeń praw człowieka. Punktem wyjściowym do rozważań nad zjawiskiem interwencji humanitarnej jest przybliżenie jego pojęcia. Badania nad konfliktami wykazały istnienie zależności pomiędzy pragmatyzmem politycznym, a realizacją przez państwa zobowiązań zasady odpowiedzialności za ochronę. Rozważania prowadzą do wniosku, iż społeczność międzynarodowa uchyla się od stosowania interwencji humanitarnej, a decyzje o jej rozpoczęciu uzależnione są od pojawienia się wielu sprzyjających czynników geopolitycznych.

The article uncovers the challenges of international organizations related to an installment of humanitarian intervention mechanism in the case of gross violation of human rights. The starting point of analysis is the explanation of the fundamentals of those conditions. The examination of conflicts showed the relationship between political pragmatism and the implementation of commitments by the state’s “responsibility to protect" principle. The analysis brings conclusion that the international community fails to comply with humanitarian intervention because the decisions of its commencement depends on the appearance of many favorable geopolitical factors.
