international legal law association

International law is a system of legal principles and norms that regulate relations between peoples and states and determine their mutual rights and obligations. International law was formed regardless of the wishes of a particular person or individual social group or layer, but as a result of objective social processes caused by the need to establish international communication. Even at the earliest stages of human development, primitive tribes maintained intertribal relations with each other, which were regulated by customs and traditions. They became the prototype of international legal norms that appeared with the emergence of statehood among the peoples of the world.

The peculiarity of international law is that its norms are created as a result of an agreement between independent and equal subjects of international law - sovereign states. The norms of international law are contained in bilateral and multilateral interstate treaties, and are also formed in the form of international customs. International treaty and international custom are the main sources of international law.

International law arose even earlier than the state appeared, since even at the community level, people from different tribes had to cooperate with each other. In 1286 BC. the first written peace treaty, carved in stone, was concluded between Pharaoh Ramses II and the Hittite king. This treaty formulated a clause that ensured its strict observance.

Thus, international law is a product of interaction in the process of cooperation and struggle of various states. International law is a special legal system. It differs from national systems, as in international relations there is no body that would enforce compliance. Everything is based on voluntariness. Pacta sunt servanda - contracts must be respected (still from Roman law).

A feature of international law is its conciliatory nature: international law is of a coordinating nature, and national law- subordinate. Characters in the international arena, they themselves agree on the rules of their behavior. Another feature is the intergovernmental nature of relations governed by international law, i.e. states and intergovernmental organizations - its subjects, actors.

The International Law Association has consultative status with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and a number of other organizations.

Organized in Brussels in 1873. It was originally called the Association for the Reform and Codification of the Law of Peoples. Since 1895 it was renamed into the "Association of International Law".

In Russia, there is also the Russian Association of International Law, it is the legal successor and successor of the Soviet Association of International Law (SAMP), created in 1957 on the initiative of leading domestic international lawyers. The main goals of the Association were to promote the unification of the scientific and intellectual potential of science and practice, exchange of experience for the purpose of progressive development, actualization and effective application of international public and private law.

Professor G.I. Tunkin, who combined the features of an experienced practitioner in the field of international law and an educational organizer.

The first Scientific Secretary of the Association was L.V. Korbut, who has held this position to date.

The Association lived, grew, matured, uniting in its ranks teachers, practitioners, researchers, as well as students and graduate students interested in international law.
