In modern international law, the role of suprastatehood and supranationality has changed. Therefore, taking into account the dynamics of development and the rapidity of change, it is necessary to analyze the place of suprastatehood and supranationality in the prism of modern international law. The purpose of the work is to examine the peculiarities of the influence of supranational institutions on international relations and international law. The methodological basis of this study is such methods as a method of formal-logical analysis, historical method, comparative method, and functional method. As a result of the conducted research, the peculiarities of the manifestation of suprastatehood and supranationality in the prism of modern international law were analyzed.
