Since when does authority to look into a country’s actions require consent of that country?

Anybody can look into any country’s actions unless that country has authority over them and forbids it.

Since 1354.

    4 State immunity evolved in close connection to the development of the concept of sovereignty
    and the territorial State. It can be traced back to the principle of par in parem non habet
    imperium which was mentioned as early as 1354 by Bartolus de Saxoferrato in his Tractatus de
    regimine civitatis. It stipulates that a sovereign should not have jurisdiction over another
    sovereign.
    
    [...]
    
    22  State immunity entails that a State itself or its property is not subjected to the
    proceedings of the court of another State. It does foreclose any proceedings or judgment on the
    merits, but does not hinder the service of process and a court decision about the admissibility.
    Likewise, it protects the property of a State against any measure taken in relation to the
    proceedings.
