invitation to contribute to this volume was the opportunity to reassess these views in light of the profound international changes of the past few years. The new political environment of the post-Cold War world is clearly somewhat less unconducive to humanitarian intervention. In fact, human rights, and issues of humanitarian politics more generally, have achieved an inter national prominence at least as great as at any other time in modern history. Nonetheless, I remain sceptical. Sovereign states and their prerogatives, I will argue, remain central in the post-Cold War world, even in humanitarian issues. We should not expect either hopefully or fearfully the imminent emer gence of an international practice of humanitarian intervention.2
