Role of International Law for Global Peace and Security

This study investigates the evolving concept of international security, emphasizing the integral role of international law in ensuring peace, human rights, and cooperation among states. Employing interdisciplinary methods, including hermeneutical and historical analysis, the research explores how legal norms, diplomacy, and military considerations shape global security in the modern geopolitical landscape. Findings indicate that contemporary security extends beyond traditional military means, addressing non-military factors such as economic stability, environmental risks, and social cohesion. The role of international organizations like the United Nations, OSCE, NATO, and the ICRC is highlighted, showing their contributions to stability through collective defense, humanitarian aid, and diplomatic cooperation. The study concludes that international security today requires a balanced approach that leverages both legal frameworks and non-military strategies to address complex global threats effectively.
