If I ran the world... and let's not discount that happening one day... I would make the United Nations into a useful thing, not the expensive and toothless organisation it is. No country should be run by a dictator...UN forces should be able to enter a country, depose the government and keep the country ticking over until a democratic election could be held, how ever long that takes. Right now, there is nothing but sanctions. We - the rest of the world - should be able to intervene with huge military might, made up of soldiers from all countries, whose function is to keep the peace.

The only problem with another country/countries coming in and removing a dictator is if the people aren't educated or didn't pursue it themselves, it just leaves the place wide open for someone similar or worse to step into those dictators shoes. Similar to womens rights I think, alot of women in countries where they're treated as second class citizens are so brain washed all through their lives, I don't think just steam rolling in with change wouldn't be effective. They would need to want and fight for it themselves (with support of other countries of course if they wanted it and reached out for it)
