Formation of the Concept of Supranational Parliamentarism in Modern International Law

Abstract

This scientific article is devoted to the study of the process of formation of the concept of supranational parliamentarism in modern international law. The study covers the evolutionary path and the formation of the concept of supranational parliamentarism in the context of international relations, revealing its key aspects, significance and impact on the global system. Legal analysis of the historical roots and context of the formation of this concept helps to explore the role of international organizations and parliaments in promoting the formation of supranational parliamentarism. In particular, it focuses on various mechanisms and structures that promote cooperation and regulation of international relations through parliamentary bodies. The study also examines the functions and powers of legislative bodies that have signs of supranational parliamentarism. Comparing different models and mechanisms of parliamentarism at the international level, the study analyzes their effectiveness in solving international problems. The scientific work highlights the challenges and prospects of the concept of supranational parliamentarism, pointing to possible ways of its further development and improvement to ensure the effective participation of national parliaments in the formation of the world order. The idea of becoming a concept of supranational parliamentarism can raise questions about sovereignty, since aspects such as supranationalism and sovereignty can conflict or complement each other. Sovereignty is traditionally defined as the power of a state over its own territory and people, which means that a country has the right to establish its own internal laws, make decisions and act independently without the intervention of external actors. The proposed concept, on the contrary, involves the formation or development of supranational structures that can have their own parliaments or representative bodies that make decisions at a level exceeding the national one. Consequently, the concept of supranational parliamentarism may challenge or rethink the traditional notion of state sovereignty in the context of its participation in supranational structures.
