Résumé anglais Monique Chemillier-Gendreau, Humanitarian Action : Ineffectual Réponse to the Crise of International Law International law has been founded on the principle of national sovereignty. The evolution of the nation state, the movement for national liberation and die Charter of the United Nations have given legitimacy and vigor to this concept. However, the process of global economic integration has upset the practices or, at least, the legal conceptions related to national sovereipity. This destabilization is due in great part to the weaknesses of international law itself. A lack of effective criteria for the maintenance of peace or positive economic relations has contributed to a situation in which intervention in the affairs of other nation-states is carried out shamelessly or simply disguised as humanitarian action.
