DESCRIPTION:\n\nABSTRACT: It is now widely acknowledged that it is morall
 y permissible to interfere with the sovereignty of \nanother state in or
 der to stop widespread or systematic violations of human rights such as 
 genocide\, ethnic \ncleansing\, crimes against humanity and war crimes. 
 The textbook cases are the Rwandan Genocide\, the\natrocities committed 
 by Idi Amin in Uganda or those perpetrated by West Pakistan during the B
 angladesh \nWar of Independence. At the same time\, it is commonly agree
 d that a revolution to bring down a tyrannical \nregime would be permiss
 ible even if the human rights violations perpetrated by the regime fell 
 short of those\nperpetrated in Rwanda or Uganda. This suggests that acco
 rding to the received view\, the conditions for the \npermissibility of 
 humanitarian intervention do not coincide with the conditions for the pe
 rmissibility of revolution. \nLet’s be creative and call this the Asymme
 try View. Should we accept the Asymmetry View? I argue that we should. \
 nIn order to do so\, I outline an account of political self-determinatio
 n and illustrate the complex role that the notion\nshould play in the de
 bate on humanitarian intervention. I then rebut a powerful objection rec
 ently raised by Jeff McMahan\, \nAndrew Altman and Christopher Wellman t
 hat\, if valid\, would undermine the Asymmetry View.\n\n
