Abstract

Humanitarian intervention still raises serious controversy among both theoreticians and practicians, especially among military ones. This article deals with the essence of humanitarian interventions’ types and the strategies of armed forces’ use in particular kinds of interventions. Relatively much attention is drawn to the problem of human interventions’ evaluation. The evaluation of these operations, which have a specific character from the military point of view, seems much more difficult than the evaluation of classic military operations conducted during wartime. This specially refers to evaluations carried out a priori, i.e. during the process of intervention planning. Despite solutions suggested by T.B Seybolt, the author of the book „Humanitarian Military Intervention. The Conditions for Success and Failure”, the problem remains open and requires further scientific exploration. However, ex post evaluations’ assumptions of such interventions raise much less controversy. To sum up, it seems justified to conclude that a reliable evaluation of humanitarian operations’ effectiveness seems currently too complicated a problem so that its probable solutions will show reliability satisfying for decision makers and planners.
