Toki pona is an interesting example, though it’s not an international auxiliary language. But it still relies on a simplistic phonetic inventory and limited core vocabulary to make communication as easy as possible.

Hasn’t stopped people from trying to hammer it into one (i.e kokanu)
I’m just saying that’s not the author’s intention, it’s more of an experiment to see how minimalistic you can make a constructed language. On the other hand, simplicity is good for an international language, so who knows, maybe something derived from toki pona can actually do the job.
