Abstract Legal regulation (status) of humanitarian intervention represents a huge challenge to global safety. It is very significant to answer the question – should international law allow states to intervene in another territory and, furthermore, should it give incentives to states to use the pretext of humanitarian intervention to wage wars against other states (pursuant to the political or economic interests towards the states where intervener is involved in the hostilities)? One of the most significant drawbacks of Humanitarian intervention is that aggressive states use the pretext of humanitarian intervention in order to launch wars under covert motives. Russian military intervention in South Ossetia (which is the undisputed territory of Georgia) represents an example of how states use their political motives to violate another states sovereignty.
