The Protocol on Mutual Defense Assistance, signed
in Freetown, Sierra Leone in May 1981, provided
for mutual military aid to a member in the case of
external aggression, as well as in the case of internal
armed conflict that was supported by external forces
if it was likely to be a threat to the peace and security
of other member states. Chapter V, Articles 13 and
14. The Protocol was not implemented, however,
and the Allied Armed Forces of the Community
envisioned remained un-established.

Khobe, supra note 175. The five members of the SMC
(The Gambia, Ghana, Mali, Nigeria, and Togo, with
Guinea and Sierra Leone as observers) met in Banjul,
Gambia in July 1990 with representatives of Doe
and Taylor and proposed an ECOWAS Peace Plan,
which called for (among other things) an immediate
ceasefire and the establishment of a peacekeeping
force. See Ofuatey-Kodjoe, supra note 176, at 261-302;
