Where in the UN charter does it say that a country must gain permission

its borders were crossed would fail the Chamberlin test.  That is to say,
by that rule, England should have done nothing while Hitler took over
Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland.

Note here that the UN _did_ vote to act against Iraq when they invaded Kuwait, a situation analogous to Germany's invasion of

Czechoslovakia.
