me this paper ]

obvious that they are actively abusing the rights of their own citizens,
however, then outside forces need to intervene. The decision may not be

involved, and the benefits of the action outweigh the negatives associated with
momentarily violating a nation's sovereignty. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
