The best way to make that point would be to revive the dormant debate about adopting narrow guidelines for military intervention, as recommended by my commission and Secretary-General Annan prior to the UN vote in 2005. Clear criteria like “last resort,” “proportionality,” and “balance of consequences” would make it harder to use cynical diversionary tactics in the Security Council and elsewhere.
在这种情况下，关键是保护责任的支持者继续强调只在最极端和最特殊的情况下才会考虑采取强制军事行动。明确这一点的最佳方式是重启陷入停滞的辩论，探讨2005年联合国投票前我所领导的委员会和秘书长安南共同提出的实行限制性军事干预行动的指导原则。“不得已”、“适度”和“平衡后果”等明确的标准将会增加在安理会和其他地方采用“玩世不恭的声东击西战术”的难度。
