NATO intervened in Kosovo and bombarded Serbia without the UN Security Council’s permission. This raised the question if the action could be justified. The situation in Kosovo was a humanitarian crisis. The Kosovar Albanians were under risk of ethnic cleansing and genocide by the Serbian Government under the leadership of Slobodan Milosevic.
