| description | At the time this statement was made by the former Secretary General of the United Nations, the international community was engulfed in a debate concerning humanitarian intervention and its effect on state sovereignty.

In the rhetoric of international politics, attempts to establish the responsibility of states to respect human rights within their jurisdictions are often countered with claims of sovereign equality and the principle of non-intervention. |
