You're reaching and there's enough things that they do that you don't need to reach for.
When you're asked to defend why you circumvented the U.N. during the process and you make a joke about how ISIS probably won't sue you in international court, I'd say that's not exactly expressing concern about the matter. If most people are comfortable with setting the precedent, then there should be no problem with consulting the U.N. first.
