Abstract
In this essay, I argue that humanitarian intervention should be considered as morally obligatory in circumstances in which a certain set of moral conditions are satisfied. The core of this argument shows that when the real life situation satisfies all these moral factors/conditions, such situation is, in fact, analogous to the famous Drowning Child Case by Peter Singer. Just like in such a case, we have the moral obligation to help the child, we have the moral obligation to help the people who are suffering in the humanitarian crisis.
