The mandate of the Commission is to promote a comprehensive global debate on the relationship between intervention and state sovereignty. Reconciling the international community's responsibility to act in the face of massive violations of humanitarian norms while respecting the sovereign rights of states poses a unique challenge. The Commission is an independent international body designed to help bridge the two concepts. Its one year mandate is to build a broader understanding of these issues and to foster a global political consensus on how to move towards action within the UN [United Nations] system. 1, record 1, English, - International%20Commission%20on%20Intervention%20and%20State%20Sovereignty

La Commission a pour mandat de favoriser un débat mondial exhaustif sur le rapport qui existe entre le principe de l'intervention et celui de la souveraineté des États. Concilier la responsabilité qu'a la communauté internationale de réagir aux violations massives des normes humanitaires et la nécessité de respecter les droits souverains des États représente une tâche hors du commun. La CIISE est un organisme international indépendant créé dans le but de rapprocher les deux principes. Elle a pour mandat, cette année, d'élargir la compréhension de ces questions et de favoriser un consensus politique mondial sur la façon de passer à une action concrète au sein du réseau des Nations Unies. 1, record 1, French, - Commission%20internationale%20de%20l%27intervention%20et%20de%20la%20souverainet%C3%A9%20des%20%C3%89tats
