The question about humanitarian intervention in Darfur poses many great obstacles. The essay explores the various factors, such as the legal, moral and political aspects of humanitarian intervention. The main purpose of the study is not to understand the current conflict in Darfur but to explain and comprehend why no state action has been taken towards the government of Sudan to stop a humanitarian crises that combines the worst of everything and most likely a case of genocide.
