The refusal of Nigeria's General Ibrahim Babangida to hand over power to a duly elected successor and the continuing repression in Myanmar and Haiti highlight a major weakness in worldwide efforts to promote democracy. These events underscore the pressing need to establish binding international principles to ban the recognition of military regimes. The creation of these principles, and of the mechanisms to implement them following any kind of military overthrow of civilian governments, would do much to strengthen democracy throughout the world.
