Iraq teaches nothing about intervention in Darfur, CISAC scholar writes

With Darfur in the news, commentators are looking to Iraq to find reasons against military intervention to stop the genocide in western Sudan. But Iraq is not an example of humanitarian intervention, CISAC visiting scholar Eileen Chamberlain Donahoe explains. A better way to decide whether to intervene in Darfur, she suggests, is to follow guidelines developed from just-war theory and set forth in a report by the U.N. High-Level Panel on Threats, Challenges, and Change.
