Examines why Tanzania's overthrow of the Ugandan Government of Idi Amin was greeted with almost tacit approval compared to Vietnam's reception in overthrowing Pol Pot. International society did not endorse the principle of humanitarian intervention in this case, but it did show by its reaction that it understood the moral context in which Tanzania had acted.

Keywords:   Idi Amin, Cambodia, humanitarian intervention, international society, moral context, Pol Pot, Tanzania, Uganda, Vietnam
