"what the fuck, you don't intervene in a genocide because it's "In your national interest"
In fact, the still-current basic principle of international law regarding security issues is that a country is allowed to attack another only if (1) permission was granted by the Security Council or (2) self-defence.
Such permission from Security Council may only be granted within Chapter VII of the UN charter:
CHAPTER VII: ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THREATS TO THE PEACE, BREACHES OF THE PEACE, AND ACTS OF AGGRESSION
http://www.un.org/en/documents/charter/chapter7.shtmlThreats to peace is meant as in threats to peace between countries, i.e. one country attacking another.
There is no right under international law to attack another country because there's a civil war going on.

EDIT: ok, I overlooked the words "actually present date" which show where Licho leans
