ON THE ISSUE OF THE «RIGHT OF WAR»

Abstract

This article is devoted to a theoretical analysis of the current, today, the problem of
international relations based on the rules of law, experiencing significant dysfunction. The armed
confrontation of countries, as the most radical way to remove contradictions, in fact, has its own
economic, geopolitical and cultural foundations, objectively inherent in the historical development
of human civilization. It is important to study the factors leading to the state of war in order to determine the patterns of its onset - the hypothesis of the norm of the "right of war", its state legitimation.
The recent history of Russia is a vivid example of the fact that the ancient Roman thesis "Si vis
pacem, para bellum" (from Latin – "if you want peace, prepare for war") remains relevant to this
day. It is the domestic science that should pay special attention to the designated problem, in connection with the need to prepare a doctrinal basis for the creation of new provisions of the "law of
the world", which, as you know, are always written by the winners.
