The crisis of pluralism in the context of the weakening of universal law

Abstract

The global society has been transitioning through a crisis period for a while. It has been disintegrating and fragmenting in different ways, on different basis and under the impact of different causes. One important factor of integration of the global society is the norms of general international law, named here the universal law. In this paper we pay special attention to the crisis of universal values and the idea of pluralism and peaceful coexistence of different cultures and civilisations. This crisis might have very negative effects on the global society because of the lack of respect towards the idea of pluralism and the lack of minimum global unity make the idea of universal law as the basic regulatory frame of the global social relations impossible.
