ABSTRACT
Soviet foreign and military policy was predicated on a belief that the United States' conventional forces did not constitute a threat outside of Western Europe, and that displays of Soviet power could undermine the west. In 1986, United States military forces engaged Libya once more. On June 27, 1986, the International Court of Justice (ICJ), an international judicial body established in 1945 as a result of the United States' government's insistence of its necessity. Legal scholar Mark Tushnet has pointed out that there were two Rehnquist Courts, and the demarcation point between the two occurred during Clinton's presidency. Solorio did not settle all challenges to courts-martial jurisdiction or the construct of courts-martial. In 1992, a United States-led multi-national force, landed in Somalia with the United Nations' sanction. Its purpose of providing humanitarian aid in the midst of a murderous civil war was hardly objectionable.
