Abstract
Political philosophers often focus upon ethical principles that
apply to the decisions of those who weld government power
directly. Michael Blake, professor of philosophy at University of
Washington, instead considered the ethical principles that apply
to the decisions of those whose relationship to government power
is less direct – such agents as ordinary citizens, political parties,
unions, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Blake focused on a particular type of organization in a particular
situation: human rights NGOs in cases of humanitarian
intervention. Blake argued that the ethical principles that apply
to the decisions of NGOs that provide humanitarian assistance
are not the same as the ethical principles that apply to the
decisions of governments.
