Resumo
This publication is devoted to current scientific and practical issues directly related to the role played by international law and the United Nations in the modern changing world. The thesis that International Law is the fundamental basis on which interstate relations develop is axiomatic. Without recognizing this fundamental provision, it is almost impossible to build any relationships between states. Current International Law is based on the UN Charter. However, over the past thirty years, both International Law and the UN have been subjected to periodic attacks. The author, analyzing the scientific positions of critics of modern International Law and the United Nations, offers a balanced approach to the identified problems, recognizing the inevitability of reforming the UN, which should be carried out in line with the establishment of the supremacy of International Law, with the unconditional preservation of the UN’s generally recognized status as a key center with a coordinating function in the sphere of world politics.
