El artículo propone un análisis del MARO (Mass Atrocity Response Operations), documentación aprobada por el Departamento de Estado norteamericano y utilizada como guía para la intervención humanitaria.a partir de las lógicas de la Doctrina de Contrainsurgencia, oponiéndola a las intervenciones realizadas en el contexto de la UNASUR en varios casos latinoamericanos en la primera década del siglo XXI.American policy on genocide prevention often reads like a children?s story or a screenplay for a Hollywood B-movie. The ??bad guys?? (the wolves) are committing horrific acts against innocent civilians (the sheep) out of sheer malice and can only be stopped by the ??good guys?? wearing the uniform of the US Army. The problem is that this approach not only dominates the media, but it has also become popular among academics.
