German term or phrase: über die gebotenen Möglichkeiten hinaus
Die heikle Frage besteht folglich darin, zu ermitteln, ob die Staaten über ihre Souveränitätssphäre und die durch internationale oder regionale Mechanismen gebotenen Möglichkeiten hinaus ermächtigt sind, in bestimmten Situationen von einem Ad-hoc_Interventionsrecht Gebrauch zu machen, das in besonders schweren Fällen die Anwendung von Gewalt einschliesst.

Explanation:
Ein Vorschlag:
