to declare oneself

How to declare oneself winner of a war by proclaiming popular objectives that were never reached, and which were not the true objectives?
Comment se déclarer vainqueur d’une guerre en affichant des objectifs populaires, mais en ne faisant rien pour les atteindre puisqu’il ne s’agit pas des buts réels ?
Even if this obligation to declare oneself was poorly applied, I was of the opinion that it was a matter of urgency to strengthen this obligation, rather than to weaken it.
Même si cette obligation de déclaration était mal appliquée, il me semble que l'urgence était plutôt de la renforcer, et non de l'affaiblir.
