That’s circular logic, though. International Law is just a set of agreements between sovereign powers. It doesn’t spring from seafoam, fully formed. What gives any nation a “right” to exist?
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.

No rights do, so I don’t understand where you’re going with this.
It isn’t circular logic because international law is what gives a country a right to exist. It isn’t any more complicated than that for the sake of this conversation.

But international law is more like “is recognized”, if no one recognizes your claim then there isn’t much you can do
