What were the justifications for u.s. military deployment

Reference no: EM13680831

From 1992-1993, the United States deployed military forces to Somalia to assist the United Nations with the distribution of famine relief supplies. This humanitarian intervention turned bloody with U.S. forces engaging in combat operations with local clans and their warlords (most famously detailed in the book and movie Blackhawk Down.)

Explore the justifications that might be cited from Just War theory to support armed humanitarian intervention in Somalia from 1992-1993. In this case study, make sure to research and address the following:

* What were the justifications for U.S. military deployment to Somalia in 1992 according to government and news accounts? (provide independent research .)
* What authority did the U.S. military deploy forces to Somalia? Analyze whether this authority was justified in approving intervention.
* Was the intervention in Somalia considered a just cause in 1992? (provide independent research sources to support this answer.)
* Did the U.S. military intervention and the subsequent violence have the right intention? Or did the U.S. military pursue a different intention with regards to its actions in Somalia?
* Was military intervention in Somalia in 1992 truly the last resort for providing humanitarian assistance to the Somali people?
* Analyze the U.S. military intervention in 1992 holistically based on Just War theory and your own personal opinions guided by research. Do you believe military use in humanitarian intervention is justified in the case of Somalia in 1992? Support your answer with theory and independent research.

The paper must have a thesis and a conclusion. You must use at least one scholarly resource other than the textbook to support your claims and sub-claims. Cite your resources in text and on the reference page.
