USian here, it's a common misconception. It's actually the "Our rules-based international order". Perhaps unsurprisingly, our rules say that the 1st world can practice unlimited plunder on the 3rd world as long as we're mostly not too open about doing it (This part is becoming obsolete). The rules also state that any country defending itself from us is an aggressive rogue terrorist state that has opened itself up to unlimited saturation self defense, followed by plunder, by virtue of breaking the rules.

If someone notices the obvious mafia-like structure of these rules and say, tries to take it up with the ICC, the rules also say we will invade the Hague.
