The review of the effectiveness of Humanitarian Intervention in “third world” countries: Case study Syrian civil war. This study seeks to review the effectiveness of Humanitarian Intervention since its inception, given the ongoing conflict in Syria. This study has used available scholarly sources such as articles, journals and books to arrive at compelling conclusive remarks on the subject matter. Therefore, this study has applied a quantitative research method. It has relied on desktop information to review the effectiveness of the Humanitarian Intervention concept in third-world countries focusing on the ongoing crisis in Syria. This study has further outlined factors that are said to be the cause of the Humanitarian Intervention concept not being effective enough to end the ongoing conflict in Syria. It has used two theories of international relations to analyse the effectiveness of the Humanitarian Intervention concept in “third world” countries and those theories are realism and idealism theories. This study has found that the concept of Humanitarian Intervention is used to pursue the interests of the powerful states in the international community. This study has recommended a review of the relevancy of veto power in the current nature and character of international relations since interstate wars have been eliminated in global politics.
