The tradition international society approach presents two main answers to these questions. The first answer is pluralist, stressing the importance of state sovereignty. According to this view, rights and duties in the international society are conferred upon sovereign states; individuals have only the rights given to them by their own states or recognized by the society of states. Therefore the principles of respect for sovereignty and non-intervention always come first. The second answer given by the International Society approach to the above questions is solidarist, stressing the importance of individuals as the ultimate members of international society. Human rights take precedence over the rights of sovereign states. On this view, there is at least a right and probably also a duty for states to conduct armed intervention if that is deemed necessary to mitigate extreme cases of human suffering inside a country.
