Why Intervene?
“The Old Interventionism”Security reasons
“The New Interventionism”Humanitarian reasons

International Lawand
Military InterventionStates should respect sovereignty of other states
"All members shall settle their international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security … are not endangered.” (Article 2.3 of the UN Charter) “All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state …” (Article 2.4)
States should work together to repel aggression. Even here, though, UN’s authority in “collective security” is circumscribed.
“Nothing in the charter shall authorize the UN to intervene in matters within the domestic jurisdiction” of states. (Article 2.7)

A Loophole
“Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defense if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations …” (Article 51)
May justify “Old Interventions”
