> The only punishment for breaking these agreements is how other countries react to you breaking them.

Boiled to its essence, that's true of all laws. Property rights, contract rights, criminal laws, regulations, even cultural institutions like marriage or parenthood (including adoption) are nothing more than systems for making the consequences at least somewhat predictable in advance.

If you kill a man to take out of his pocket some green pieces of some kind of linen/cotton blend that society has deemed to be currency, and the legal system will try to find you, prosecute you, and punish you for it. Same with a guy who tries to invade some neighboring oil fields with some tanks.

But law, at its very core, is just "might makes right." Always has been. The difference, then, is that some of the most powerful institutions in the world have largely agreed to what the international order should look like, and they do have some power to enforce that vision. Not perfectly, and not always consistently, but there are consequences and international law is as "real" as criminal law in that way.
