intervention:
(international law)

3. Int’l law. One country’s interference by force, or threat of force, in another country’s internal affairs or in questions arising between other countries. — intervene, vb. -interventionary, adj. [2]

     Excerpt from Philip C. Jessup’s A Modern Law of Nations (1948):

     “Intervention may or may not involve the use of force. it is frequently possible for a powerful state to impair the political independence of another weaker state without actually utilizing its armed forces. This result may be accomplished by lending open approval, as by the relaxation of an arms embargo, to a revolutionary group headed by individuals ready to accept the political or economic dominance of the intervening state. It may be accomplished by the withholding of recognition of a new government, combined with various forms of economic and financial pressure until the will of the stronger state prevails through the resignation or overthrow of the government disapproved. [3]

humanitarian intervention:
(1906)

1. An intervention by the international community to curb abuses of human rights within a country, even if the intervention infringes the country’s sovereignty.

     Excerpt from Vaughan Lowe & Antonios Tzanakopoulos’s “Humanitarian Intervention,” in 5 The Max Planck Encyclopedia of Public International Law (Riidiger Wolfrum ed., 2012):

     “[0]ne might distinguish between forcible and non-forcible ‘humanitarian’ intervention.  There are non-forcible actions, such as the provision of humanitarian aid (food, medicine, and the like), that could constitute ‘humanitarian intervention.’  Since, however, intervention in its classical incarnation is generally considered to involve the use of force, these non-forcible actions are better described as ‘humanitarian assistance’ . . . . Humanitarian intervention can then be loosely defined as a threat or use of armed force against another State that is motivated by humanitarian considerations.  This broad definition is not technical and does not imply any distinct legal justification for the forcible action.  Many legal justifications for the use of force may involve a humanitarian component or motivation: for example, authorization by the Security Council, self-defence, the protection of nationals abroad (itself connected to self-defence arguments), and armed action upon invitation or with the consent of the target State . . . . ‘Humanitarian intervention’ also has a narrower meaning as an autonomous justification for the use of armed force in another State distinct from other legal justifications. Humanitarian intervention in this narrower sense can be defined as the use of force to protect people in another State from gross and systematic human rights violations committed against them, or more generally to avert a humanitarian catastrophe, when the target State is unwilling or unable to act.  This is still a broad definition, which could be applied to almost any instance of use of military force that has been claimed to have a humanitarian objective or to have been based on humanitarian considerations.  The term is not one of art, however: it does not appear in any international treaties; and it cannot be said that its boundaries are yet clearly delineated.
