But, this is about as international as sanctions get.

Not true, North Korea is sanctioned by everyone via the UNSC with more specific sanctions from other countries and bodies like the EU.

And the word “international” doesn’t imply global, planetary or a majority.

Right, when they say the international sanctions by the international community they're definitely not trying to imply anything. I wonder in that case what they mean when they mention the rules based international order.
