info:eu-repo/semantics/OpenAccess Doomed to passivity? An exploration of origins of intra-state violence and possibilities for constructive intervention. Gaay Fortman, B. de Sociale Wetenschappen human rights development Following the death of several hundred people during 'ethnic' rioting in Burundi, a repetition of previous genocides seemed imminent. Belgium and France, not surprisingly, contemplated the evacuation of their citizens from that country. One of the oldest responsibilities of a government is, after all, to safeguard the lives and property of its subjects abroad. And yet, as so often, the question arose: What is being done for all those other human beings? Who gives a thought to their safety? Are outsiders indeed doomed to passivity? Or are there actually possibilities for intervention in such intra-state conflicts? To answer these questions, we must first have some insight into origins of such conflicts. 1997 Part of book or chapter of book text/plain https://utrecht-main-prod.atmire.com/handle/1874/34868 Publication / Advisory Council for Scientific Research in Development Problems 14, - (1997) en
