    That's an interesting question, because I think almost all invasions are illegal by UN standards.

    But a law means nothing without enforcement, so this "law" really only applies if enforced, which it usually isn't. This is a problem with most international laws. There is no world police to enforce the laws, so they are generally weak.

    So for the most part, I would say it is not legal on paper for a country to invade another country (by UN standards), but in reality, the legality is irrelevant.

    Just ask George W. Bush.
