AN OVERVIEW OF THE INTERVENTIONIST APPROACH

Introduction
Interventionism can be defined as a strategic approach, activity which is undertaken by a mighty nation to influence or to manipulate another less powerful one.

It can be defined as the act of advocating and saving oppressed people in other nations. It is commonly justified by the incapability of the target government to safeguard its people.

The humanitarian intervention is characterized mainly by the nature of the actions that the government can do. Among these actions are “humanitarian aids” and “sanctions of various kinds”. It is known as “humanitarian war” since it is often achieved through the use of the army forces by a government in a foreign government in order to redeem people from an unwelcomed catastrophe.
