On a General terms International court does not have the juridication to interfer in an internal affair of state unless the state approches to the International court for any matters or Internation court recieves any such petition or application where it has to make an interference but nevertheless it will be routed through the internal court of the state, no direct interference

International Court has got jurisdiction in two ways i.e when two states takes the legal matter to International Court to give its verdict on such contentious matters and the other one for legal opinion which is referred by United Nation organs on legal issues if they are authorized. So in this regard International Court has no jurisdiction to interfere directly in internal affairs of the state if no authorization is given.

Ordinarily No as every independent nation is sovereign. But under the doctrine of necessity predicated on protection of humanity, international crimes and the sacrosanct rights of man, this doctrine may be temporarily suspended. Examples are intervention in Panama, Grenada, Iraq, Haiti, Libya etc.....though, the doctrine appears hypocritical and discriminatorily lopsided as it's yet to be made applicable to Israel.
