Suppose you are a humanitarian interventionist,and you argue that all persons have certain supremely important,basic rights that must not be violated by either people or states; people who have these basic rights violated are entitled to use force to defend them,and it is morally permissible for other people or states to use force to help in that defense; people or states that violate others' basic rights forfeit their own right not to have force used against them; therefore,humanitarian intervention is morally permissible in defense of basic rights.Applying this view to the intervention in Libya in 2011 (as described in the text) ,you would probably judge the intervention to be:
A) morally preemptive.
B) unjustified.
C) justified.
D) morally permissible.
