International Law is just a set of agreements between sovereign powers
And? What’s circular about it? Nations arise from self organizing societies, and these nations come together to define international laws. And then they define the right of self affirmation, and if the main powers recognize a state it is assigned the right to exist. And if the core powers of this world decide that a country does not matter, they’ll look the other way as those rights are bombed. It’s an emergent property of international politics.
It doesn’t spring from seafoam, fully formed.
No rights do, so I don’t understand where you’re going with this.
