Abstract
If anything, the recent cases of intervention by invitation highlight an urgent need for the reengagement of international lawyers in this topic. It is this need which informs this article’s commitment to reexamining the issues associated with intervention by invitation. The first question which comes to mind is whether the exercise of intervention by invitation can really be deemed to be a legal enterprise? If so, what conditions can be said to bestow legality upon a resort to intervention following invitation? To answer these questions, this essay maps out the differences between intervention by invitation and collective self-defence against armed groups and concludes that it is a grave mistake to downplay the important role undertaken by the test of effective control in the context of intervention by invitation.
