The international community’s response to conflict occurrence can significantly affect the number of casualties, the extent of resulting devastation and even the outcome of the conflict.

The Flying Dutchman Dichotomy: The International Right To Leave V. The Sovereign Right To Exclude, Suzanne Mcgrath Dale
