Rwanda, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, Darfur: all these agonies of the post-Cold War landscape are examples of places where the United Nations failed to act as it should. Few people doubt that the UN's ability to guarantee international security stands in urgent need of reform, but there is no real prospect of agreement on how to do it. In the absence of a credible international system for security, do individual countries have the right to take international law into their own hands? Is it better if a democracy, which is at least subject to some form of accountability, does it than if a dictatorship does? Does the existence of a broad coalition make action outside the UN more acceptable? Or are these just steps towards the old doctrine of "might is right"?
