And by that you mean sanctions imposed by the US, the EU and some of their allies. I don't think that 15% of the world population living in these countries warrant calling the sanctions "international" as if they are in some way legitimate.
So a country sanctioning or allowing something is a really weak basis, as you point out.
But "countries with X% of the world population" is just as bad. Saudi Arabia is still an absolute monarchy. No telling what North Korea is, but a sanction from there does not represent the will of its people.
Good point! Maybe no "international" anything is legit.
Do they represent the will of the people in democracies? I don't think they had a referendum on that issue.
>Maybe no "international" anything is legit.
Multilateral international treaties that states voluntarily joined are certainly legit, and so are UN GA non-binding votes and UN SC resolutions (although with that one not all people agree).
