There are situations where intervention is considered legitimate. To provide for some degree of international stability, countries agreed to use the Security Council of the UN to decide whether or not any given situation satisfies the criteria for legitimate intervention. The only situation where an individual country acts with legitimacy without the UN's process is in the case where it is under attack or about to be under attack immediately -- everybody has a right to self-defense. If you want to intervene for some other reason (primarily humanitarian), then you take the issue to the UN.
