dc.description.abstract | International legal practice once again proves a leading role in regulating
international relations, it is a political and moral component. In analyzing the basic
principles of international law from the point of view of the mechanism for their
implementation, one should proceed from the degree of absolute social and moral value to
both the state separately, and for the entire international community as a whole. The
subjects of the international community must realize their rights and responsibilities only
within the limits that do not affect international peace and security, the basic principles of
humanity and cooperation of states in vital areas of global coexistence. Modern positivists
believe that the state assumes international legal obligations on its own accord (will), but
then these obligations remain valid regardless of the consent of the state, due to the principle
of good faith. The above-mentioned thoughts indicate rather that states are inclined to
comply with international obligations that are in line with their public interests, while the
general principles of international law are, first and foremost, a universally accepted interest
of the global community. One of the elements of the moral and ethical mechanism for the
implementation of the general principles of international law is international politeness.
International courtesy (comitas gentium) - a set of rules of benevolence, correctness, restraint
and mutual respect of participants in international communication, which are not legally
binding. Only a holistic, coherent mechanism of legal, political and moral-ethical
implementation of the implementation of the general principles of international law at the
national, supranational and international levels can guarantee the realization of the goals
and objectives of all humanity in the form of general principles of international law. | uk_UA |
