The main focus of the Clinton administration after the cold war was to protect
human rights. This was not as easy as expected; world leaders were challenged to
balance human rights, economic interests, strategic interests, and lack of
clear guidelines for humanitarian intervention overseas. These interests often
conflicted and complicated response to international emergencies.
Consequently, Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) became progressively
more important as they had the ability operate across borders with relative
ease. NGOs became more and more involved in initiatives such as health care,
woman’s rights, and other human rights.
Governments still retained their role of supplying military
intervention when required, while international communities such as the United Nations
(UN) took on the role of International Court on issues pertaining to abuse of
human rights.
