Abstract. The role of military-political alliances (MPA) in the modern system of international relations is steadily increasing. In an attempt to change the world order and impose a rules-based world order, Western countries and the MPAs they have created are trying to take over the functions of the United Nations (UN) and violate the generally recognized norms of international law. Thus, the issue of creating an effective instrument for regulating international legal responsibility in order to maintain peace and stability, based on the central role of the United Nations, is becoming relevant. The article emphasizes the importance of the branch of international responsibility law designed to regulate the behavior of states and their alliances in wars and conflicts, ensure justice and guarantee compensation for damage to the injured parties. An analysis of the stages of MPA development from ancient times to the present day is carried out. A conclusion is made about the need for further progressive development of the law of international responsibility of military-political alliances.

Keywords: international law, international responsibility, international organizations, military alliances.

Aznagulova G.M., doctor of law, head of theory, history and philosophy chair, chief researcher of the department of law theory and interdisciplinary research of legislation of the Institute of legislation and comparative law under the Government of the Russian Federation, opklex@mail.ru

Abstract. The past requires comprehension of experience, the present is the sphere of practical activity, and the future dictates the use of methods of philosophical phenomenology and the scientific development of vital goals that should reflect the content of public policy, covering all spheres of human activity and society. This factor determines the inextricable connection and unity of politics, domestic and international law, organically connected with the phenomenon of international relations.

Reality is determined by the high hierarchical level of significance of interest in the system of intrastate social relations in the context of human rights, transposed to the international level, where a reasonable combination of various interests rests on the contradiction of the absolute of state sovereignty and the constitutionalization of current international law, which is difficult to resolve today, manifested in dialectical confrontations in the geopolitical activities of national states .

The significantly increased interest in the teachings of Immanuel Kant on international law in recent years is associated with the widespread information war, which has a hybrid nature, the impossibility of regulating this area by international law, and actualizes Kant’s idea of eternal peace, which would be supported by a union of free states to eliminate wars and resolve international conflicts. Whatever the motives of the parties, they can only be based on their sovereign will.

Keywords: new world order, constitutionalization of international law, interests in law, state interest, geopolitical realism, dialogue of civilizations.
