Abstract/Summary

This undergraduate thesis discusses the politics of the United Nations’ hierarchical process of humanitarian intervention in Rwanda. This is a qualitative research, with the researchers conducting documentary research. Different data were collected by utilizing books, journals, dissertations, magazines, and other secondary sources that are accessible in the Philippines. This study aims to find out the relationship between politics and UN policy and actions regarding humanitarian intervention as shown in the Rwandese crisis. it could also pose questions on the UN’s rationality as a major actor in the international community. Its irrationality would cast a shadow of doubt on its ability to address important issues concerning international peace and security. Based on the data and information gathered, the researchers conclude that the selfish interests of states as main actors, the negligence of local values due to hegemons and regimes, and the rigidity of the UN system as an institution were the main factors that led to the failure of the UN’s process of humanitarian intervention.
