Examines 6 instances of foreign military interventions occurring between 1976 and 1989 which resulted in the removal of the existing government and the establishment of a new governing body. Finds that UN responses to these incidents were not consistent and are therefore not solely based on application of the UN Charter. Develops a theory to explain why this should be.
