Peace building and crimes against nature Peace building and crimes against nature. The toxic legacy of ‘humanitarian intervention’ Peace building and crimes against nature. The toxic legacy of ‘humanitarian intervention’ Some questions: When, if ever is a just war? Can we justify refusing to fight in such a war? How do we commemorate the fallen of a war in times of peace? Two clusters: Human rights Peace building

Humanitarian intervention: examining cases of war Kosovo 1998-1999 – a humanitarian war-without UN approval Extensive use of depleted Uranium and cluster bombs

Humanitarian intervention: examining cases of war Iraq 1: Invasion of Kuwait (1990) – Refusal to withdraw after requested by the United Nations- UN authorised military intervention by a coalition led by the United States. Blowing of oil wells and extensive use of uranium weapons.

Humanitarian intervention: examining cases of war Iraq 2 (2003): pretext developing weapons of mass destruction. Never fully justified Extensive use of depleted uranium weapons by the coalition of the willing.
