Moralitas intervensi kemanusiaan harus didasarkan pada Alkitab. Artikel ini mencoba mengusulkan dasar alkitabiah dari moralitas intervensi kemanusiaan. Metode yang digunakan dalam artikel ini adalah studi pustaka. Dua ajaran Alkitab, satu dari Perjanjian Lama dan satu dari Perjanjian Baru, direfleksikan. Pertama, teks Perjanjian Lama Kejadian 1:26-27 menceritakan martabat dan nilai manusia, sebagai puncak ciptaan Tuhan. Manusia harus menghormatinya. Melindungi hidup manusia adalah alasan yang adil untuk intervensi kemanusiaan. Kedua, dalam intervensi kemanusiaan, ada ketegangan antara “keprihatinan kemanusiaan” dan “kedaulatan bangsa.” Ketegangan ini sejajar dengan ketegangan dalam Perjanjian Baru Luk 6:6-11. Teks ini menceritakan ketegangan antara “berbuat baik” dan “menjaga hukum”. Yesus, Guru Moralitas kita, mengajarkan bahwa berbuat baik dan menyelamatkan hidup (“keprihatinan kemanusiaan” dalam intervensi kemanusiaan) lebih tinggi nilainya daripada mengikuti hukum Sabat (“kedaulatan bangsa”). Kedua teks dapat menjadi dasar bagi moralitas intervensi kemanusiaan.
