The Ethics of Intervention: Sovereignty, Human Rights, or Hegemony? Analysing Global Power Shifts and the Motives Behind Regime Change

In a rapidly evolving multipolar world, the ethics of international intervention are increasingly under scrutiny. This discussion will explore the philosophical tensions between respecting national sovereignty and addressing human rights abuses, while also questioning the true motives behind such interventions.
Reflecting on the legacy of U.S. actions in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran, we will consider whether these interventions were genuinely aimed at promoting democracy and protecting human rights, or if they were driven by strategic interests such as resource extraction and the maintenance of global hegemony. As the unipolar dominance of the West gives way to a more complex global order, we will examine the implications of these power shifts for the future of international relations and the ethics of intervention.
Join us as we delve into these critical questions, balancing the moral responsibility to intervene with the realities of geopolitical strategy and the evolving rules of global engagement.
