British Responses to Genocide: The British Foreign Office and Humanitarianism in the Ottoman Empire, 1918-1923 Grubb Amy E.
This book examines British responses to genocide and atrocity in the Ottoman Empire during the aftermath of World War I. British understandings of humanitarianism at the time revolved around three key elements: good government, atrocity, and the refugee crises; this ideology of humanitarianism, however, was challenged by disputed policies of post-war politics and goals regarding the Near East. The authors analyze British humanitarianism and humanitarian intervention through the advice and policies of the Foreign Office and British government in London and the actions of Foreign Officers in the field.
This study shows that the tension between altruism and political This resulted in limited intervention methods available to those on the ground but did not necessarily result in the forfeiture of the belief in humanitarianism amongst the local British officials charged with upholding it.
