Under international law, intervention may be legally justified :(1) if the intervening state has been granted such a right by treaty;(2) if a state violates an agreement for joint policy determination by acting unilaterally;(3) if intervention is necessary to protect a state's citizens;(4) if it is necessary for self-defense; or(5) if a state violates international law. Intervention is also justified by the United Nations Charter when it involves a collective action by the international community against a state that threatens or breaks the peace or commits an act of aggression. 1, record 1, English, - intervention

En vertu du principe coutumier de non-intervention, confirmé par une «déclaration sur l'inadmissibilité de l'intervention dans les affaires intérieures des États et la protection de leur indépendance et de leur souveraineté» (Assemblée générale de l'O.N.U., 1965), l'intervention est interdite, sauf si elle est expressément prévue par un accord ou demandée par l'État qui la subit. Les forces d'urgence des Nations unies ne peuvent intervenir qu'avec l'accord de l'État où elles stationneront. 1, record 1, French, - intervention

[...] la cuestión de la intervención con fines de protección humana era una de las más controvertidas y complejas de las relaciones internacionales y, con el fin de la Guerra Fría, la polémica se reavivó más que nunca. Durante el último decenio se han hecho numerosos llamamientos a la intervención –unos han recibido respuesta y otros han sido ignorados– pero sigue habiendo discrepancias sobre la posibilidad, la forma y el momento de ejercer el derecho a la intervención, si es que existe, así como sobre quién debe autorizarla. 1, record 1, Spanish, - intervenci%C3%B3n

While directors may legally defer the declaration of preferred dividends indefinitely, in practice dividends are paid if justified by earnings. Failure to declare an anticipated preferred dividend has unfavourable repercussions. Besides weakening investor confidence, the general credit and future borrowing power of the company suffer. 2, record 3, English, - investor%20confidence

Bien que, légalement, les administrateurs peuvent différer indéfiniment le paiement des dividendes privilégiés, en pratique les dividendes sont versés si les bénéfices de la compagnie le permettent. Le fait de ne pas déclarer un dividende privilégié prévu a des répercussions défavorables. En plus d'ébranler la confiance des épargnants, la cote de crédit de la compagnie et son pouvoir d'emprunt à l'avenir s'en ressentiront. 3, record 3, French, - confiance%20des%20%C3%A9pargnants
