Description: The idea that we should do something to help those suffering in far - off places is the main impulse driving those who care about human rights. Yet from Kosovo to Iraq military interventions have gone disastrously wrong. The Thin Blue Line describes how in the last twenty years humanitarianism has emerged as a multibillion - dollar industry that has played a leading role in defining humanitarian crises and shaping the foreign policy of Western governments and the United Nations. Drawing on his own experience of working in over a dozen conflict and post - conflict zones Foley shows how the growing influence of international law has been used to override the sovereignty of the poorest countries in the world.
