En studie om hur en militär intervention kunde godkännas av FN


This study in political science examines the UN adopted resolution 1970 (2011) andresolution 1973 (2011) on the basis of foreign policy decision-making. The study aims toexplain how the UN principle of Responsibility to Protect came to be legitimized for the firsttime by the UN Security Council in the Libya conflict in 2011. By a poliheuristic perspectivethe study attempt to explain Russia and China?s acting in the voting of resolution 1970 andresolution 1973. The background to the conflict in Libya 2011 is presented in the study aswell as the Security Council?s actions during the conflict, from the beginning of the conflictuntil the adoption of resolution 1973. The study is based on an argument analysis tocrystallize the most important arguments from Russia and China?s statements regardingresolution 1970 and resolution 1973. The results of the research shows that the adoption ofresolution 1973 and therefore a military intervention in Libya in 2011 can be explained, froma poliheuristic perspective, primarily by the few political options and decision-makingdimensions actors have to choose from when making decisions.
