Actually, there is an international sign language! It incorporates aspects of signed languages most commonly found. It’s used by the World Federation of the Deaf, mostly, as they developed it.

But if you’re asking about a universal language that each Deaf person or signer would understand no matter their language of origin, no there is not, as sign language behaves in the same ways as spoken language.
