NATO Intervention in Kosovo in 1999: Is It Promoting the Existing International Law or Destroying It?

The end of the Cold War did not minimise the ugly phenomenon of unilateral resort to force; nor was it expected to. Indeed, the grounds that tempt states to use force have not ceased to exist. The Cold War merely disguised them and presented blatant pursuit of national interest as high rhetoric of ideological struggle of ‘democracy’ versus ‘totalitarianism’ or ‘socialism’ versus capitalist oppression. —- Bora Touch
