Mission Statement

The Military Intervention News Log gives a daily review of international media coverage of situations of civil war, political repression or secession that involve or could lead to military peace operations or peacekeeping troop deployments.

Postings provide: i) a record of news coverage on daily situations by major and alternative sources, ii) a sense of how situations are covered (those 'in the spotlight' attract major media outlets, while others can be found mainly the 'alternative press'), iii) occasional non-news items such as research tools, research conferences, and new publications.

The Editor's research looks at philosophical questions about international law and ethics relating to military conflict and international peace operations.
