Intervention is defined as dictatorial interference by one state in the affairs of another state. It generally violates the principle of non-intervention, but international law allows for exceptions including self-defense and collective actions authorized by the UN Security Council. Intervention can involve force (military intervention) or influence without force (diplomatic intervention). Historically other grounds were used to justify intervention such as humanitarianism or enforcing treaty rights, but the UN Charter now prohibits all uses of force or threats of force by states against other states.

(a) Forcibility or use of force.
(b) By a state.
(c) By a state.
(d) Against a state.
8. Object of intervention:
Object of intervention is to make the conditions according to the wishes of
intervention state.
9. Grounds for intervention under international law:
Following are grounds for intervention which are permitted under international
law.
I. Self defence:
According to oppenhiem use of force in self defence is justified where it is
necessary for self preservation.
(a) Conditions:
The right of self defence is available subject to the conditions as under.
(i) There should be an arm attack.
(ii) Report should be made to security council.
(iii) There shall be no effect on security council responsibility for keeping
peace.
(iv) Right is subject to the review of security council.
(v) Right of self defence exits until security council has taken any action.
(vi) This right is not available against non- member of united nation.
The Coroline case 1841:
Following principle was laid down in this case.
"Necessity of self defence should be instant, overwhelming and leaving no
choice or means and no moment for deliberation."
II. Collective intervention:
Under the charter of united nation collective intervention can be made to
check an aggression on the breach of international peace and security. in
chapter (vii) security council has been empowered to take collective action if
there exist a threat or breach of the international peace and security or an
aggression has taken place.
(iii) Intervention on humanitarian ground:
Humanity is also justification for intervention by a state. when human rights
are openly violated, other states can interfere to check violation of human
rights. it is controversial question as to whether after the enforcement of
charter of united nation, intervention is lawful or not. now this type of
intervention is not permissible under international law.
(iv) Intervention to protect persons and property:
State can interfere on the ground to protect the persons and property.
(v) Intervention for balance of power:
It was permitted in the past but after the establishment of united nation no
state can intervene in the internal and external affairs of other state.
(vi) Intervention to maintain international law:
It was permitted before the establishment of united nation. now intervention
of international law is not permissible.
(vii) Intervention for enforcement of treaty rights:
A state is justified to interfered the external or internal affairs of other state
for the enforcement of rights of treaty. united nation does not recognise this
intervention.
10. Present position under U. N Charter:
Now under U. N charter intervention can not be justified on any ground. the
charter has prohibited the use of force by a state in the affairs of another
state by virtue of article 2 para 4 i. e. all members states shall refrain in their
international relations from the threat or use of force, against the territorial
integrity or political independence of any state or in any other manner in
consistent with the purposes of the united nation.
11. Conclusion:
To conclude it can be said that intervention is a dictatorial interference by a
state in the affairs of other state. when principle of non interference is
violated, it is referred to intervention. it may be diplomatic or military.
intervention is a rule forbidden by international law but there are exceptional
cases where a state can intervene in the affairs of other state.
