 +We should only intervene in non Earth Empire systems when one or more of the following holds true:
 +   * the legitimate government in a single-colony system has requested assistance;
 +   * for multi-colony planets where the legitimate government(s) of the majority of the population in the system has asked for assistance;
 +   * a colony government with whom we have a prior agreement that we would intervene to support them;
 +   * where inter-polity agreements require us to assist;
 +   * where not assisting would, on a balance of probability, lead to genocide being committed;
 +   * where not intervening would lead to loss of a strategic asset to humanity (e.g. hyperlinimum production) or would lead to a conflict spilling over into other systems (e.g. piracy);
  
 +In all cases the specifics of the individual case would be taken into account alongside the implications of both acting and not acting given existing inter-polity agreements current at the time.
  
-{{tag>news T71 3208 Earth Sol Imperium Intervention Policy}}+For all practical purposes the legitimate government is whoever currently commands the support of the population in the colony, regardless of how they came to power or their other policies. 
 + 
 +Where we are invited to intervene there should be a presumption that we will help. However we want act on behalf of the bulk of the population and we also want to ensure a humane intervention. 
 + 
 +We will not intervene to support governments that have committed genocide at any time nor to support those governments that are currently involved in practices that were incompatible with Solar Republic law, particularly  
 +as regards human rights.
