On a side note, what is a rogue nation? This sounds like another one of your made up terms like illegal war.
Illegal wars are those of aggression and moreso based upon outright fraud and lies. Rogue nation fits nations that routinely ignore international law. The US, Britain and Israel are the obvious examples. Only they can get away with the outrageous time and time again.

Many nations in the world are rogue, but some have a lot of influence. Rogue is forcing a state to give up weapons whilst having them too and never discussing removing them.
