Just because a vast majority of countries agree to a particular law does not mean that that is a universal international law. What it actually means is that particular law is only recognized in those vast countries. Countries are free to pick and choose which international laws they accept and do not accept. International laws are treaties. They only apply where they apply.
There is no majority rule. If a country doesn't recognize a particular law then it is indeed invalid within that country. Every country does this. Even the US doesn't accept every international law.
Great logic! Do us all a favour and test that one out, would you? Commit a crime, get arrested and then tell the judge you don't recognise that particular law - see where it gets you...
