All this talk about legal rights is nonsense.

I would argue that technically you are wrong and that international law applicable to a country is determined by UN charter (ie binding UNSC resolutions) and the binding agreements that it sighned and ratified.
But yes, major powers disregard said law when it doesnt suit them or apply it selectively. For example the Kosovo precedent was used in Crimea. The cause for the outrage is not that the international law is disregarded, but that it is disregarded by the wrong powers.
