People Without Rights
Kosovo, Ost-Timor und der Westen
by Noam Chomsky
- 4 Want to read
Noam Chomsky ist einer der schärfsten Kritiker der herrschenden Weltordnung. In People Without Rights nimmt der US-Amerikaner die Behauptung westlicher Regierungen unter die Lupe, dass die Wahrung der Menschenrechte im Mittelpunkt ihrer Außenpolitik stehe. Untersucht wird die Glaubwürdigkeit von NATO-Staaten allen voran am Beispiel des Ost-Timor-Konflikts sowie der Bombardierung des Kosovo.
Chomskys Ergebnis ist ernüchternd: Im Fall Ost-Timor beweist der streitbare Intellektuelle, dass sich die Politik des Westens primär an strategischen Interessen ausrichtet. Im Klartext: Da Indonesien unter Präsident Suharto Verbündeter im Kampf gegen den asiatischen Kommunismus war, wurde die brutale Annexion Ost-Timors toleriert. Aber damit nicht genug. NATO-Staaten haben das indonesische Militär durch Waffenlieferungen massiv unterstützt.

Work Description
How do we understand the ethics of humanitarian intervention in today's world? After Western intervention in Libya's civil war this new edition of A New Generation Draws the Line provides timely answers. In a new chapter on recent interventions Chomsky dissects the meaning of the 'right to protect' principle. Other chapters examine the West's uses and abuses of 'humanitarian intervention' including detailed studies of East Timor and Kosovo. The actions of Muammar Gaddafi and the trial of Serbian military commander Ratko Mladic have energised narratives about the role of the 'civilised' West. In this book, Chomsky deploys his forensic method - asking the difficult questions the West would prefer to avoid.
