Let's replace "international law" with "civil rights" or "democracy" and this sentence could have been expressed by a French aristocrat of the "Ancien Régime" (say: around 1790).

As I recall my history, the proponents of democracy did not go around claiming it already existed, they went about creating it...with a revolution.
