Forcing Humanitarian Aid in Burma/ Myanmar

Listen Tuesday, May. 13, 2008 at 1:06 p.m. in Disaster, Politics

In the wake of Cyclone Nargis, the East Asian nation of Burma / Myanmar has been unable-- and some say unwilling -- to dispense humanitarian assistance in a timely manner. Now global leaders are publicly discussing options that would violate that nation's sovereignty, including delivering aid without permission. We explore whether the international community's "responsibility to protect" extends to humanitarian crises.
