Humanitarian interventions have been an argument in the conjecture of international law and international politics. There is no exact definition of humanitarian intervention and debate continues over the extent to which it is legal and necessary to carry out humanitarian intervention, especially since the "semi-illegal" intervention of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in Kosovo in 1999, without authorization from the United Nations Security Council. The debate centers on whether humanitarian interventions are sincerely “humanitarian” or whether there are other reasons behind them. The reason for this skepticism lies in the different attitudes of international organizations and the United States in different situations such as Kosovo, Rwanda, Somalia, etc. The main idea of ​​opposition to humanitarian intervention is that it could constitute a justification for the actions of hegemonic countries over these countries to obtain or maintain their advantages. Using this idea as a basis, this essay will explain how the hegemony uses humanitarian interventions according to its interest and why critical theory is the most appropriate theory to explain this issue. Critical theory has its roots in the work of Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937). ) "Prison Notebooks", published in 1971. Antonio Gramsci took Marxism as the basis of his works, but the main difference between Marx and Gramsci is that Gramsci thinks that it is difficult to promote a revolution because there is a flaw in Marxism which is a concept of hegemony (Baylis et al, 2008, p. 150). Hegemony was a term used by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin to refer to the political leadership of the working class in the revolution. But Gramsci developed and expanded this word as an analysis of how the ruling capitalist class stands middle of paper......friends of Antonio Gramsci. New left-wing review.2.
