Definition

  • The three Boland amendments sought to limit the military or paramilitary assistance offered by U.S. governmental agencies to the rebels of Nicaragua—the Contras—in overthrowing the left-leaning Sandinista government. The first attempted to prevent a possible war between Nicaragua and Honduras. [Source: Encyclopedia of White-Collar and Corporate Crime; Boland Amendments]
