Abstract: Summary: Two main UN reports (Brandt and Palme) include the satisfaction of human needs in the research of disarmament and peace. However, there are not a lot of analyses concentrated on humanitarian actions. Some actions of force are developed in order to fight against organized and systematic violations of the humanitarian right on the territory of another State. It implies the usage of the force and the other coercive means in order to stop the violent neglects in the humanitarian right (right to interfere). However, the integrity of the sovereign power of States stays the main foundations of the international law. The "duty to interfere" intervention must not be mixed up with the humanitarian intervention, which is peaceful, restful on the assistance to the victims of armed conflicts or natural disasters. There is two " political economies of the humanitarian ", expressed in the civil domain or by a military intervention.
