Abstract:
Здійснено комплексний аналіз еволюції принципів міжнародного права від
Вестфальського договору 1648 р. до сьогодення та ступінь дотримання цих принципів у взаєминах
між росією та Україною. Доведено, що невиконання міжнародних зобов’язань є традиційним для
урядів російської імперії, радянського союзу і російської федерації. Встановлено, що впродовж
означеного періоду російське керівництво систематично порушувало всі підписані україноросійські угоди. Ухвалені останнім часом в росії законодавчі акти спрямовані на підрив основ
колективної безпеки у світі та виводять цю державу за межі Статуту ООН і цивілізованих
міжнародних відносин. The article
for the first time comprehensively examines the step-by-step evolution of the principles of international
law from the Westphalian system of treaties of 1648 to the present day and the degree of observance of
these principles in the relations between russia and Ukraine. It was found out that during this period,
despite the devastating wars, humanity sought to develop mechanisms for peaceful resolution of conflicts,
to develop principles of international relations, to introduce civilized rules of warfare, to alleviate the
suffering of the civilian population during hostilities. Each global war ended with the creation of a new
system of peaceful coexistence: Westphalian sovereignty, Treaty of Versailles, Treaties of Yalta and
Potsdam. The Geneva, Hague, Vienna and other international conventions became important elements of
these systems, the purpose of which was to protect the inalienable rights of every person, develop fair
rules of international relations and introduce civilized rules of warfare.
It has been proven that failure to fulfill international obligations is a traditional political course
for the governments of the russian empire, the Soviet Union, and the russian federation. It was established
that the Russian leadership systematically violated all signed ukrainian-russian agreements. It has been
found that in recent years, legislative acts have been adopted in russia that contradict the international
obligations of the russian authorities. In addition, by the fact and nature of its full-scale aggression against
Ukraine in 2022, russia clearly demonstrated its reluctance to resolve disputes peacefully. Such steps are
deliberately aimed at undermining the foundations of collective security in the world and take this state
beyond the UN Charter and civilized international relations. This means that the existing international
security mechanisms have lost their relevance, and after the end of the russian-ukrainian war, the question
of creating a new collective security architecture in the world will become acute.
