There is no International Law, there is simply What You Can Get Away With Internationally. Beneš knew that nobody would speak up, much less intervene on behalf of the Germans and other minorities he was expelling.

Precisely. He knew he could get away with - and he did. IIRC, it was done with the knowledge and (tacit) approval of the WWII Allied Powers. To the best of my knowledge, no one said to Beneš, “Uh…you really sure you wanna do that, buddy?”
