description The UN is making repetitive diplomatic attempts through its resolutions to send peacekeeping force to the Sudanese region of Dafur, it has succeeded to send a large number of troops to Lebanon, and the AU struggles to concur on schema to send African forces to Somalia. NATO forces on the other side are engaged in fierce battles against Taliban fighters in the mountainous region of south Afghanistan, all under one name: international intervention. The fundamental aim of intervention is to lessen the consequences of conflict, usually in the form of violence and destruction. Although the theoretical and practical aspects of conflict management are converging, a void of considerable size still separates the two. The main cause of which is failure to address root causes. Under normal circumstances political intervention is ingrained on the implementation of appropriate and authoritative mandates. Protection of human rights and military or economic interests are part of the justifications for intervention. The rationale for intervention is to create (or the desire to initiate one) international society which holds fast to the international law through diplomacy in order to achieve balance of power.
