Non-intervention as a Legal International Norm

Interventions have always presumed pretensions of legality, there always have been arguments to justify them, even through novel forms as in the recent case of the so called "Right to Intervene". However, intervention is expressly and universally outlawed. That is why countries such as Mexico have sponsored and defended the non-intervention doctrine, the same that has been recognized by the United Nations and by the International Court of Justice. In the presence of violations that the non-intervention-principle suffers, it is necessary to frame a definite judicial regime in order to enforce it. It will be also necessary to regiment judicial regulations for the very precise cases in which some intrusion could be tolerated, as in the case of the so-called "intervention for humanitarian reasons". The purposes, ways, controls, etc., of such an action must be grounded on an unquestionable judicial basis and the approval of the states.
