| dc.description.abstract | This thesis compiles and evaluates arguments for and against the success of Operation Unified Protector. In addition to investigating claims about the intervention, this study collects existing data on relevant issues such as the number of deaths and human rights abuses in Libya during and after the intervention to determine whether claims about the intervention are accurate. This thesis finds that supporters of the intervention were correct in arguing that the intervention was both justified and upheld its commitment to protecting human life and human rights. While this thesis finds the intervention to be a qualified success, it also suggests how states may better prepare for security issues in future interventions. Ultimately, this thesis finds that Operation Unified Protector was both warranted and mitigated violence perpetrated by the Gaddafi regime, thus upholding the international community’s goal of protecting human life and human rights. | en_US |
