ISBN: 9780739138076 / Angielski / Miękka / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Long-simmering conflict in the Sudanese region of Darfur came to a boil in the spring of 2003 and became a focus of American media attention in September 2004. After the genocide in Rwanda the international community developed a new way to deal with genocide-the "Responsibility to Protect" doctrine which legitimized intervention in case of egregious loss of human life.

ISBN: 9781907301278 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
