What right has the UN, being a mere collection of individual states, to decide what is or is not a legitimate intervention? Individual states having no right to intervene at all, except in cases of self-defense as you mentioned. Does a quorom of states with no-right to intervene assume a right-to-intervene by means of agreement? What is the source of a state's power to delegate such a legitimacy it itself doesn't possess?
