International community

This can be used in a double way :

• All the lands represented in United Nations
• The people of the lands all over the world.

The international community is regulated by the international law created by the international consensus

It has been observed that the superpower nations (now mainly the United States) use the term to describe themselves regardless of international opinion. For example, the bombing of Kosovo was described as an action of the international community even though it involved only nations representing perhaps ten percent of the world's population.
