Although humanitarian intervention is never politically neutral, Mapel
maintains that this point can be overdrawn. Arguing that humanitarian agencies
cannot always actively pursue political agendas, Mapel asserts that the
objectives of such missions must be determined on a case-by-case basis. Pushing

obligation to intervene, the nature of the conflict, the costs and risks of
intervention, and other factors must all be taken into consideration. Mapel
concludes in support of Winston's call for a standing UN military force for
humanitarian interventions but notes that debates over the objectives of
interventions and the nature of justice in complex situations remain obstacles
to the establishment of such a force.
