Sovereignty as responsibility conflict management in Africa

By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: Washington Brookings Institution 1996Description: xxiii, 265 p. ; 24 cmISBN:
  • 9780815718277
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 327.1SOV
Summary: The authors assert that sovereignty can no longer be seen as a protection against interference, but as a charge of responsibility where the state is accountable to both domestic and external constituencies. In internal conflicts in Africa, sovereign states have often failed to take responsibility for their own citizens' welfare and for the humanitarian consequences of conflict, leaving the victims with no assistance. This book shows how that responsibility can be exercised by states over their own population, and by other states in assistance to their fellow sovereigns.
