No More War

This clear-eyed analysis of Western foreign policy "helps cut through the Orwellian lies [that] make so-called 'humanitarian' intervention possible" (Oliver Stone). War causes the world’s worst human rights violations. This undeniable truth, which the framers of the UN Charter understood so well, is lost in the self-contradictory agenda known as “humanitarian" intervention. Demonstrating the terrible truths behind today’s military rhetoric, No More War reclaims the original intent of the Charter founders who sought to end the scourge of war. Dan Kovalik begins with a short history of the West’s brutal economic development, built on genocide, slavery, and the mass plunder of the Global South. In light of this history, he challenges the prevailing notion that the West is uniquely poised to enforce human rights through force. Kovalik also examines recent “humanitarian" interventions carried out by Western powers against poorer nations such as Iraq, and shows how they created greater human rights problems—including genocide—than the ones they purported to prevent.
