En juin dernier, le département d'État, à Washington, a exclu l'expression «État voyou» de son langage diplomatique, au profit de la catégorie, plus vague, de «state of concern» («État source d'inquiétude»), dans le dessein d'avoir une plus grande flexibilité dans ses rapports avec les États ainsi désignés.
