Description/Abstract

As states tend to offer “help” with the sense of “responsibility to protect”, the extent of how countries intervene and when does that intervention cross its limitations are at question. There are two suggestions to the field of research. Such countries are backed up by major countries including the United States and China. Although approaches for both countries are different, environmental concerns and issues tend to arise from it. There needs to be an approach to indicate when the help of a “developed” country is assistance or intervention. The challenge is to consider at what point does help cross the boundary limitations of intervention and assistance. The second suggestion includes a framework with a set of guidelines, or simply an expanded version of an international framework on environmental concerns arising from human rights violations within the “help” relationship between “developing” and “developed” countries.
