International humanitarian law cannot serve as a basis for armed intervention in response to grave violations of its provisions; the use of force is governed by the United Nations Charter. • It is not for the ICRC to pronounce on the legality or legitimacy of such intervention. • International humanitarian law applies when intervention forces are engaged in hostilities with one or more of the parties to the conflict. • The ICRC seeks to promote the term “armed intervention in response to grave violations of human rights and of international humanitarian law”
