How about the Vietnamese invasion of Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia?

The Indian invasion of east Pakistan?

The NATO intervention in Yugoslavia?

Those three all happpened to end ongoing genocides, but were certainly "illegal".

As for Tibet, while you say it is illegal, we all know absolutely nothing will ever be done about it.

Int'l law forbidding any military action not sanctioned by the "int'l community" is something that wwould only bind the most conscientious of nations while setting free the most wicked. The US has been right to reject giving up any sovereignity to "int'l courts".
