Abstract

International law as a complex structured, hierarchically arranged and multidimensional political and legal phenomenon is in dialectical relationship with the world's material and spiritual culture, its past, functioning and development trends and has its deep substantive basis for the existence of humanity, embodying the centuries-old civilizational community of peoples in relation to each other, having a specific measure in a specific historical epoch. Therefore, in a cognitively conscious substantive approach, international law should be understood as a form of international relations regulated by law, i. e. international relations are the subject of regulation of international law, which should be considered as a dynamic phenomenon, as a continuous process — a manifestation of the universal principle of movement, when certain states of it at certain points in time are existing, an element of an unbroken causal chain, directed forward while simultaneously facing backward.

Traditionally, when analyzing the content of international law, where emphasis is placed on its validity and effectiveness, a predominantly sectoral approach is used. The issues of the ontological essence of international law and the correlation of ontological and epistemological methods in its analysis remain without due attention.

International law is a dialectical process of a single causal chain of social phenomena unfolding in space and time. The main feature of the implementation of its basic principles, defined ontologically as universal, legally relates to the sphere of duty as a moral duty of the subjective wills of sovereign states. The fundamental difficulty of establishing fair international relations based on respect for the interests of subjects of international communication is caused by the impossibility of developing a single and complete scale of moral values common to all States. Therefore, the preservation of the world order established after the Second World War, strict observance by all states of the UN Charter and fundamental human rights documents are of universal importance.
