US Just Cause Operation Against the Republic of Panama 1989-1990

Abstract

The research revolves around the study, statement and clarification of the American invasion of the Republic of Panama 1989-1990, within the framework of what is known historically and militarily as the "just cause" process. This operation was authorized by US President George W. Bush to overthrow the rule of President Manuel Antonio Noriega in the Republic of Panama. The operation was carried out after the United States of America had several reasons and justifications, through which the CIA agents proved that its former secret agent, President Noriega, had become a threat to American interests in Panama and the Canal region and behind its national security. Therefore, it had to report this threat to the Bush administration, who did not hesitate to use his powers in order to give his forces permission to overthrow Noriega and his regime. He is not concerned with the repercussions of this operation and its effects on the United States of America regionally and internationally because he had previously attended his administration through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to avoid these repercussions.
