Феномен колективної безпеки як елемент міжнародної безпеки в системі міжнародних відносин

Abstract

International security is a special state of international relations that reflects the degree of national interests of all actors in world politics. The foreign policy relations of states are based on their observance of generally accepted principles and norms of international law. Adherence to such norms ensures the resolution of conflicting issues and differences between them without the use of force or threat of force. It is noted that arms control is aimed at limiting the number of weapons and regulating their use through bilateral and multilateral treaties and agreements. At the same time, disarmament is aimed at eliminating entire categories of weapons systems. It is noted that the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction poses a serious threat to international security. The purpose of this work is to explore the role of collective security and its characteristics as an element of international security in the system of international relations. This study is based on the work of scientists who have studied at different times issues related to the system of collective security, namely: V.G. Butkevych, S.V. Riznyk, O.S. Kuchyk, I.I. Lukashuk, O.S. Vlasiuk, and others. The article highlights the modern interpretation of the content of international security, which is characterized by certain areas, as following arms control, environmental protection, reduction and non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, counter-terrorism, migration flows to prevent ethno-national and religious conflicts. It is stated that collective security prefers universal or global forces with the participation of all states, to maintain international peace and security, and therefore these measures are aimed at ensuring a stable, comprehensive peace. Accordingly, states are jointly ready to defend international peace and security by conducting joint military action against acts of aggression. The system of collective security guarantees by neutralizing by joint efforts any acts of aggression or war against the victim state.
