Well, there seems to be pretty strong support from EU and the other Arab nations.
Justification is because the Libyan government has turned to using the military against their own people without much regard. It looks like they've been bombing and shelling killing just about anyone. I've really some really gruesome stories.
Fear is that atrocities will increase and cause a humanitarian crisis which would destabilize the region, especially considering the events in Tunisia and Egypt right next door.
At least that's the reasoning he gave when he spoke today.
