Intervention (international law)

Intervention in international law means when one country gets involved in another country's business without permission.

Imagine you are playing with your favorite toy and someone else suddenly comes along and starts playing with it without asking you. That's kind of what it's like when one country intervenes in another country's affairs without permission.

When countries interact with each other, there are rules that they follow. One of these rules is called "sovereignty." Sovereignty means that every country has the right to govern itself, make its own laws, and sort out its own problems.

Intervention happens when one country violates another country's sovereignty by trying to control or influence its people, government, or resources, usually through military or economic means. This is usually done by a more powerful country to a weaker country, which is not fair or just.

When there is intervention, it can lead to conflict, violence, and instability. That's why international law has rules against intervention, to protect countries and promote peaceful cooperation between them.

In summary, intervention is when one country interferes with another country's business without permission, which violates international law, and can lead to conflict and instability.
