ТЕРИТОРІАЛЬНА ЦІЛІСНІСТЬ ТА ПОЛІТИЧНА НЕЗАЛЕЖНІСТЬ ЯК ОСНОВОПОЛОЖНИЙ ПРИНЦИП МІЖНАРОДНОГО ПРАВА

Abstract

This article discusses the list of fundamental principles of the United Nations. The fundamental principles of UN members are: 1) the principle that states refrain in their international relations from the threat of force or its use both against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, and in any other way incompatible with the goals of the Organization About United Nations; 2) the principle according to which states resolve their international disputes by peaceful means in such a way as not to endanger international peace, security and justice; 3) the principle regarding the obligation, in accordance with the Charter, not to interfere in matters falling within the internal competence of any other state; 4) the duty of states to cooperate with each other in accordance with the Charter; 5) the principle of equality and self-determination of peoples; 6) the principle of sovereign equality of countries; 7) the principle of conscientious fulfillment by the states of the obligations accepted by them in accordance with the Charter. The main attention is paid to the disclosure of the principle of territorial integrity and political independence. The author emphasized that UN member states and international organizations should in every way contribute to the establishment and implementation of the principles approved in the Declaration on the Principles of International Law Concerning Friendly Relations and Cooperation between States in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations (1970). It was noted that the fundamental ideas of the UN member countries are to promote the development of international relations of each member country, not to encroach on independence, democracy, territorial integrity, maximally contractual resolution of disputes that arise, and in the case of non-possibility, normative resolution of such disputes in courts. Violation of UN principles causes a negative reaction from other participating countries. The issue of applying the binding mechanism of the UN General Assembly resolution, which, unfortunately, today, is of a recommendatory rather than an imperative nature, needs to be resolved. It is also worth emphasizing the lack of a mechanism to bring the country, which violates the principles of the UN, to legal responsibility. After all, the absence of an effective mechanism of responsibility causes situations of further violations of international law and avoidance of responsibility.
