international intervention
Cross-border state action
International intervention is action by foreign governments or organizations in another country's affairs, typically to address humanitarian crises, restore order, or enforce international norms.
The intervention may be diplomatic, economic, or military: The UN authorized international intervention to protect civilians.
The term often implies controversy about sovereignty and legitimacy—one nation's humanitarian mission is another's violation of self-determination.
