> As for international law, it is extremely clear, prohibiting the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.

Decided by whom?

Let me quickly google that for you:

International law, also known as public international law and the law of nations, is the set of rules, norms, legal customs and standards that states and other actors feel an obligation to, and generally do, obey in their mutual relations. In international relations, actors are simply the individuals and collective entities, such as states, international organizations, and non-state groups, which can make behavioral choices, whether lawful or unlawful. Rules are formal, typically written expectations that outline required behavior, while norms are informal, often unwritten guidelines about appropriate behavior that are shaped by custom and social practice.[1] It establishes norms for states across a broad range of domains, including war and diplomacy, economic relations, and human rights.

I believe matters of international law are typically decided upon by a randomly selected panel of internet commenters.
