The core argument of the study is that the human rights violations in Darfur meet the legal threshold of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity and, therefore, justifies forcible humanitarian intervention in the Sudan by any grouping of states whether in or outside the context of the UN or the AU. While intervention may be legitimate outside the UN or AU framework, the author suggests that it would be in the interest of the stability of the global and regional peace and security system painstakingly assembled over the last six decades that preference is given to forcible intervention within the institutional framework of the UN and AU.
