"Revolution Beyond Our Borders": Sandinista Intervention in Central America
Abstract
A nation that provides material, logistics support, training, and facilities to insurgent forces fighting against the government of another state is engaged in a use of force legally indistinguishable from conventional military operations by regular armed forces. As with conventional uses of force, such military action is permissible under international law if it is undertaken in the exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defense in response to an unlawful use of force. But such action is unlawful when it constitutes unprovoked aggression.
