Abstract

The first turn is the Second World War and the profound transformations it produced, which had a clear impact on the entire world, and the second turn was after the Cold War, which produced the new world order, which one of its most prominent productions and influences is the "theory of human intervention and intervention to establish democracy" if this system is one of the most important factors that led To the emergence of this theory and its consolidation to maintain international peace after the Second World War. The concept of democracy has been confirmed by many international and regional conventions, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the two international covenants, but the issue of "international intervention to establish democracy" has been and continues to be the subject of controversy and debate among scholars of public international law. he concept of democracy has been affirmed by many international and regional instruments, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the two international covenants. However, the issue of "international intervention to establish democracy" has been and continues to be a subject of controversy and debate among scholars of public international law. It has been one of the most controversial issues surrounding its legitimacy and legality under international law.

The opinion supporting this form of intervention recognizes its legitimacy as an effective and important means of strengthening the concept of democracy, protecting it, and spreading it, especially when a coup against it occurs illegally. This is because international law today gives weight to the issue of legitimacy enjoyed by governments because it has become a global obligation and an essential condition for entering the civilized international community, as it has come to emphasize the importance and necessity of such an issue in order to enhance international security and stability. In contrast to the above, the other opposing jurisprudential opinion sees it as illegitimate because it conflicts with the fundamental principles established in international law, such as the principle of state sovereignty, non-interference, and the prohibition of the use of force. In addition, democracy has not reached - despite it being a human right - the point of being considered a basic human right that leads to sacrificing the fundamental principles of the aforementioned international law, and thus justifying military intervention in order to establish democracy, especially what the practical reality presents to us at the level of the international community regarding the danger of this intervention, as
