  International community - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The international community is regulated by the international law created by the international treaties.
It has been claimed that the superpower nations (now mainly the United States) use the term to describe organizations in which they play a predominant role, regardless of the opinion of other nations.
For example, the Kosovo War was described as an action of the international community even though it was undertaken by NATO, which represents approximately ten percent of the world's population.

 BBC NEWS | UK | Politics | Blair's 'international community' doctrine
International terrorism post-11 September and the spread of weapons of mass destruction require a further redefinition of the rights of a nation-state, he argued in a speech on Friday.
He wondered whether international law should not be developed to avoid situations where "a regime can systematically brutalise and oppress its people and there is nothing anyone can do, when dialogue, diplomacy and even sanctions fail, unless it comes within the definition of a humanitarian catastrophe".
Tony Blair in fact first mentioned his doctrine of international community (and world figures like to be known for their doctrines) in a speech in Chicago in 1999.
