- ItemA critical examination of the principle of non-intervention(Kampala international international: School Of Law, 2019-06) Margaret, NamatovuNon-intervention is a rule of international law that restricts the ability of outside states to interfere with the internal affairs of other states. Non-intervention is derived from the inviolability of state's sovereignty. This principle is rooted in Article 2 of the United Nations Charter. Nevertheless, there are recognized instances where other states may legitimately interfere with the internal affairs of another state. Investigating this situation and ascertaining where the lawful intervention may constitute the bedrock of this study. The study adopts the doctrinal research methodology and thus uses relevant primary and secondary materials. The study finds that lawful intervention may be undertaken where there are gross violation of human rights, and under the authorization of United Nations Security Council (UNSC).
