This paper examines the roll-out of humanitarian intervention post - 1990 developments. It considers the interest that United Nations have in being able to access and implement Article 2 of the United Nation Charter. It shows also their willingness to use various humanitarian legal tools. The paper also outlines the various international and EU regulations that misuse and abuse the delivery of a broad doctrine of ‘responsibility to protect’. Most importantly highlights the ongoing its uncertain scope and definition which can be misused for ulterior motivations. In this sense, just as much can go wrong with humanitarian intervention as can go right and, therefore, we must be sceptical before permitting the Security Council to extend the doctrine at will.
