Perhaps not the world, but of some world powers are ok with the coup, it surely helps.
The USA, to give you just an example, had no trouble to accept lots of coups in Central and South America, which were brutally murdering their own civilians.
An interesting fact is that many of those coups were not only accepted, but also fuelled and supported by the USA.
So that has not always, but often, gone well in history.
