Confiscation Estonian style: legal and political aspects of potential seizure of Russian assets in EU countries

The possible confiscation of Russian assets by Western countries is one of the serious challenges to modern international law and the system of international relations. Since the greater part of the frozen assets is under the jurisdiction of EU countries, special attention should be paid to studying mechanisms for the use of Russian assets within the EU. The purpose of this article is to identify the key characteristics of the EU’s approaches to the use of frozen Russian assets, determine their compliance with international law and investigate possible consequences for the modern system of international relations. To achieve this goal, the author analysed the legal aspect of this problem, examined the compliance of the initiatives to confiscate Russian property with the norms of modern international law and pinpointed the potential consequences of such actions. It is concluded that possible options for seizing sovereign assets contradict the norms of international and national law. Therefore, all these methods are unfeasible within the current legal framework. Yet, the main obstacle to implementing the plans to seize Russian sovereign assets lies not within the legal realm, but in the political sphere since such actions could result in unforeseeable ramifications. The mechanism proposed by the European Commission for seizing private property within the framework of criminal proceedings implies the use of criminal law to solve political problems, which is at variance with the objectives of criminal policy.

TRANSFORMATION OF GLOBAL ORDER

The global order is changing. Not only Yalta-Potsdam and postbipolar systems are changing but also Westphalian sovereignty with its government centricity and “dictatorship of great Powers” is transforming. New configuration is being built in the modern system of international relations. In the modern system of foreign relations sanctions took a form of wide-scale global actions against certain countries. As an economical instrument in foreign relations, sanctions became a “Universal hammer” in the hands of the world economical giant - the USA - to solve its narrow national objectives. Value foundations of international relations are also being reformatted. Information wars became part of modern international relations. Russia’s special military operation (SMO) in Ukraine is changing the modern American order that established itself after the USSR’s disintegration. The way the future global order is going to be shaped depends on the way Russia is going to solve the Ukrainian question.

Russia’s Foreign Policy Ideologemes and Their Relevance for Middle East in Context of Transformation of Modern System of International Relations

As part of this research, there was made an analysis of the foreign policy ideas, values and narratives of the Russian Federation distributed in the information sphere based on the theses that were voiced by the President of Russia V. Putin during his speeches in 2022. These ideas were considered through the prism of ideologemes that determine the strategic vector foreign policy of official Moscow. In addition, an assessment is made of the relevance of these ideologemes for the states of the Middle East region in the context of changes in the global transformation of the entire system of international relations and the building of a new polycentric world order. Conclusions are drawn about the interest of the cross-regional actors of the Middle East subsystem in the promotion of the theses and ideologies put forward by Russia and a certain identity and coincidence of the ideological and value spaces of Russia and the countries of the Middle East. Aspects and directions are outlined in which cooperation and coordination of actions between Moscow and the Middle East leaders can develop. An assumption is put forward about the possibility of building a system of rules and ideas in the Middle East, which can subsequently be extrapolated to the entire global system of international relations.

China's policy in Africa: the role of the strategy of “soft power”

Within the framework of the modern system of international relations, China is turning into one of the world's leading centers of power. This process is inextricably linked with the strengthening of its own positions in those regions of the world that are of paramount importance for Beijing. Undoubtedly, Africa is one such region. The article is devoted to the study of the strategy of "soft power" in the foreign policy of modern China in relation to African countries. In view of the growing role of the African direction in the foreign policy concept of the PRC, relations with the states of Africa are considered as part of the strategy of the new world order, in which the tools of "soft power" acquire signifi cant importance. Despite the fact that, fi rst of all, in international relations, attention is focused on the use of “hard power” by states, and the relevance of the “economic power” factor is also increasing, the influence of “soft power” tools is still noticeably increasing. Within the framework of this study, special attention is paid to the description of the implementation of the concept of "soft power" in Beijing's African policy in such areas as education, science, culture, and healthcare. An analysis of Chinese diasporas is presented as one of the key tools of "soft power" with Chinese characteristics. The aspect of the infl uence of the Chinese side on the information space and the media in the African region is considered separately. Given the growing role of the "Celestial Empire" on the world stage, special attention is paid to the transformation of the concept of China's "soft power" into "discursive power". The article presents the main activities of the PRC within the framework of this strategy.

Россия в современной архитектуре международных отношений: прогнозные сценарии и границы допустимой реструктуризации

Introduction. The article is devoted to the characterization and substantiation of the basic principles and priority areas of the foreign policy activity of the Russian Federation in the context of the transformation of the modern system of international relations. Scenario approaches to the development of the Russian state and its functional role in the context of increased conflict potential between countries of Western and non-Western civilizations that are most frequently articulated within the political science discourse are interpreted. The study's relevance stems from the need to reconsider the dominant grounds for restructuring the contemporary world order, which lacks security and stability, while compromising the development interests of most states and societies at national, regional, and global levels. Methods and materials. The authors rely on the conceptual statements of the political organization of the contemporary world, developed by M.M. Lebedeva within the framework of a system approach. In identifying the sources of global turbulence experienced by the current system of international relations, the theoretical constructions by I. Wallerstein, S. Huntington, G. Kissinger, and O.V. Gaman-Golutvina were used. The elucidation of the functional specifics of Russia as a civilization state in the system of the world order of the past and present is based on a civilizational approach. The empirical base of the article was the normative and legal documents of the Russian Federation and the results of surveys conducted by leading centers: VCIOM, FOM, and Levada Center (this organization is included in the unified register of individuals and organizations recognized as foreign agents in the Russian Federation). Analysis and results. In the course of the study, the dominant factors that contribute to the radicalization of the conflict potential of the existing system of international relations were revealed and interpreted. The relationship between the escalation of the conflict between the Western bloc countries and Russia, the multifaceted objectification of Russophobia in all spheres of life, and the strategic vectors of Russia’s foreign policy formulated in The Concept of the Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation (2023) is traced. At the same time, attention is focused not only on the principles of the new Russian statehood and the place of the Russian Federation in the contemporary world but also on the historical continuity of Russia as a civilization state. Authors’ contribution. S.A. Pankratov developed the theoretical basis of the study, analyzed the dominant trends in the transformation of the modern system of international relations, and carried out the general scientific editing of the article. E.V. Klinshans summarized and analyzed the empirical data related to the priorities of the implementation of the foreign policy of the Russian Federation and formulated the main conclusions of the work.

Обмеження державного сувернітету в умовах глобалізації: теоретико-правовий аспект

In the article, the author discusses the current state and use of the concept of state sovereignty in international law. The author analyzes the issue of limiting sovereignty from the standpoint of real and recent examples in international practice. The article also attempts to trace the evolution of ideas about state sovereignty and analyzes various theoretical and legal approaches to the signs of sovereignty. It was determined that the specific forms of limitation of sovereignty are full and partial (as a result of annexation or gradual inclusion of the territory into another state), as well as voluntary and forced (voluntary entry into any supranational association, for example, the European Union, or restrictions imposed as a result of international interventions in Yugoslavia, Iraq, Syria) restrictions. Based on the results, it is concluded that the observed erosion of the concept of state sovereignty threatens the destruction of the modern system of international relations and the erosion of the very concept of the state as we know and understand it today. One of the drivers of this process is globalization, within the framework of which the sovereign state becomes "redundant" and, in fact, "unnecessary", causing a quick return to the state "before Westphalia", characterized primarily by a huge number of political overlords, whose sovereignty has a weak connection with any separate formal state entities.

Ideological and Value Impact of Turkey on Processes in Information Space of Republic of Crimea

The article focused on the ideological and value impact of the Republic of Turkey on interethnic processes in the information space of the Republic of Crimea in the period 2021-2022. As part of the study, there were analyzed statements by official Turkish representatives, materials of Telegram channels, media, funds and agencies in Turkish and Russian dedicated to discrediting Russia’s policy on the territory of the Crimean Peninsula, as well as updating issues of historical memory and distorting the facts of the common past of the peoples living on the territory of the modern Republic of Crimea. The methodological basis of the study was a systematic (complex) approach, event analysis, content analysis, analysis of data arrays, as well as an ideological and value approach. The considered cases of information impact demonstrate the focus of the Republic of Turkey and its current leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on promoting the ideologemes of «Pan-Turkism» within the ideological and value space of the Republic of Crimea, which is one of the Turkic-speaking regions of the Russian Federation. At the same time, both the applied ideologeme and its active support from the official authorities testify to the unrelenting ambitions of the current authorities in Turkey to secure the position of a supra-regional leader for the Republic of Turkey, including in the information space of a third state (the Russian Federation), which has no physical borders, in conditions of transformation of the modern system of international relations. Such a policy of Ankara poses a serious threat to official Moscow in the field of national security and can have a negative impact on the state of interethnic relations in Russia.

КОНЦЕПТУАЛЬНІ ЗАСАДИ «ОСОБЛИВИХ ВІДНОСИН» США ТА ВЕЛИКОЇ БРИТАНІЇ

The aim of this article is to shed light on the phenomenon of «special relations» between the United States of America and Great Britain. Despite the fact that the topic gained considerable attention in the academic literature and the term «special relations» is applied to different states and regions, it is necessary to understand its origins. The purpose of the article is to investigate the phenomenon of American-British relations, to analyze the historical and political view of the problem, and to formulate the characteristics of the relations between the United States and the United Kingdom. Chronological limits are determined by the first mention of the term in 1946 and the presidential term of D.Trump, who managed the office in 2017–2021. Methodology of the article. Hypotheses were tested through historiographical analysis and the historical-comparative method were used to analyze published studies on the history of «special relations». The scientific novelty of the study consists in determining the peculiarities of relations between the United States and Great Britain during the tenure of Donald Trump. Therefore, the «special relationship» is a unique historically formed complex of interaction between the USA and Great Britain, which is manifested in various spheres of public life: political (to have an opportunity for better implementation of their own foreign policy), military (the USA and the United Kingdom have an unprecedented level of mutual trust and cooperation in the field of intelligence and nuclear programs), cultural (the historical memory of both nations makes American and British society sensitive to the problems of their «English-speaking neighbours»). We consider it necessary to highlight the following features of American-British relations:the long-term historical interaction that brought the two nations closer together and laid the foundation for relations between the United States and Great Britain; the common ideology of liberalism; cooperation provides an opportunity to better implement one’s own foreign policy; close relations between political figures of states; relations are characterized by periodic «approaching and distancing», which create new challenges for the allies. Each of these features is traced in the relations between the USA and Great Britain and during the administration of Donald Trump. Both states faced a number of challenges in international politics, due to the crisis state of the modern system of international relations. The governments of the United States and the United Kingdom have demonstrated the ability to compromise in critical situations, that proves the uniqueness of such an alliance.

ФОРМУВАННЯ ЗОВНІШНЬОПОЛІТИЧНИХ СТРАТЕГІЙ ТА ДОКТРИН США НА ПОЧАТКУ ХХІ СТ.: ПРАКТИЧНИЙ ВИМІР

The purpose of the article is to analyze the foreign policy strategies and doctrines of the USA in the last decades. Special attention is paid to presidential doctrines, which, focusing on the most important priorities of the president’s foreign policy, shape the position of the state in the modern system of international relations. Currently, the key direction of foreign policy priorities has become the development of strategies covering the concept of “new challenges” to national security. Threats such as terrorism, regional instability, uncontrolled flows of weapons and drug trafficking, transnational crime networks and illegal migration, ethnic conflicts and political regimes, systematic violation of human rights, growing demand for resources, natural disasters, environmental hazards, and pandemics came to the fore. The renewal of the complex of strategic threats has caused the modernization of American approaches to ensuring security and defense. As a result of the study, based on the application of political analysis methods, considerable attention is paid to the strategic culture of the USA as an answer to fundamental questions about the way of thinking and behavior of the state, the tools of its foreign policy, its perception of key categories for national improvement – «security», «enemy», «environment», «threat». Taking into account the evolutionary dimension of the perception, awareness and overcoming of threats to the USA, it is possible to single out certain features of strategic culture that played and continue to play a significant role in the process of making foreign policy decisions of this state, which are discussed in this article. Conclusions. All US foreign policy actions are aimed at achieving its own national interests, and their structuring, reflection and consolidation in doctrinal documents allow for the synchronization of foreign policy steps and the adoption of important political decisions, despite the turbulence in international relations and the changing geopolitical realities of the 21st century.

“New Atlanticism” as a Factor of UK-US Relations

The “special relationship” with the US is at the center of UK foreign policy strategy, which is determined by the overall objective of influencing the modern system of international relations along with adapting to its changes. The UK's post-Brexit "New Atlanticism" has manifested itself in several ways. From a geopolitical point of view, the UK seeks to play a special role in ensuring Euro-Atlantic security against the backdrop of building a new model of relations with the EU. From the economic and regulatory perspective, there is a tendency towards leadership in issues of technology and artificial intelligence security with the support of the US.

Кризис современного либерального мирового порядка как фактор возвышения Китая

The liberal world order is vulnerable to the challenges it has created. In other words, the nature of the liberal world order creates two paradoxes that are difficult to resolve on the base of its principles. First, a liberal world order requires open economies to sustain and spread of economic growth. However, as national economies become interdependent on the free flow of capital, labor, and output, income inequality increases, as does the likelihood of job losses and regular economic crises like the Great Recession. Secondly, the idea of ​​promoting democracy and protecting human rights discredits itself with the alleged right of «gendarme powers» to violate the fundamental principle of the sovereignty of individual states. Thirdly, these paradoxes are exacerbated not only by the one-dimensional retreat of the United States from fulfilling the obligations of the hegemonic power, which accelerated under D. Trump, but also by the sharp increase in political ambitions and the economic rise of developing states, especially China. The accompanying dualism of these processes leads to systemic changes in the structure of the distribution of power, the essence of which, revealed through the theory of hegemonic stability, is the non-wests desire to reform this system of global distribution of prestige, as Washington's prestige continues to decline rapidly. Finally, these processes represent a perfect storm for the successful implementation of China’s offensive foreign policy under Xi Jinping, aimed at revising the modern world order in such a way as to achieve greater inclusiveness of Global South. China’s willingness to lead this process and its growing attractive development model are even more confirmed during the current COVID-19 pandemic, when key elements of the modern system of international relations have failed to coordinate efforts and collectively formulate a universal strategy to combat the new global threat.

The Infrastructure Competition between the United States and China in Developing Countries

A brief comparative analysis of US and Chinese infrastructure projects is provided. The world-system approach, which sets the objective possibilities and limitations of the strategies of the United States and China as interconnected parts of the world economy and politics, was chosen as the methodological basis. The first part of this article describes the world-system approach, as well as the position of the People’s Republic of China in the modern system of international relations. The second part is devoted to the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative. The third part provides an analysis of counterinitiatives put forward by the United States.

Международные отношения начала XXI века. Тенденции и перспективы

This article dwells on the prospects for the development of international relations in the 21st century. The fact of a high level of conflict in the world is stated, the specifics of the current situation is considered and the need to analyse ways to create a stable system of international relations is substantiated. Further, a short overview of how well this topic has been researched is provided. The problem is considered in historical retrospect. The paper studies the systems of international relations in the 19th and 20th centuries: (Vienna, Versailles–Washington, and Yalta–Potsdam, as well as the modern system of international relations that started to take shape in the late 20th century) and their evolution. Each of the systems is briefly analysed here. Special attention is given to such notions as the balance of power, collective security, and international law. In addition, the role of the League of Nations and the UN in 20th-century international relations and the results achieved by them are evaluated. Moreover, the problems faced by the UN are described and the organization’s prospects in the 21st century are assessed. Considering the current system of international relations, the author notes its incomplete formation as well as fundamental differences from the systems that existed before. The developing system has faced a number of entirely new challenges, such as a complete discrediting of the international law, virtual destruction of the nuclear weapons control system, total loss of trust between the countries, extremely high level of tension in the world in general, and ineffectiveness of the UN. In conclusion, the author attempts to predict how the situation in the world will be developing in the 21st century and what the system of international relations will look like in the future.

The critique of the Westphalian peace narrative

The article studies perceptions of the Peace of Westphalia that were formed in the fields of international relations history and the general theory of international law as a result of conflicting doctrines, with some claiming the Westphalian treaties of 1648 are of universal significance for these scientific fields, and others, conversely, denying that these treaties had any sort of influence on the formation of a modern system of international relations and the formation of international law as a legal system. The article concludes that the treaties of the Peace of Westphalia does not actually contain many of the provisions attributed to them. These norms often arise only from their interpretation. However, the critics of the treaties’ significance for the history of international relations and their international legal regulationwho focused their attention only on the verbatim text of these documents while ignoring the historical conditions surrounding their development and adoption, failed to properly assess their impact. The Westphalian Congress was the first congress in world history that was pan-European in character. Its widely representative nature, the lengthy period of time during which it was held, the content of the treaties and the universally binding nature of their provisions, as well as the protocol rules, allow us to claim that the states of this world region started to identify themselves as part of a single pan-European international community. Moreover, the Congress also saw the creation, in a relatively short time, not only of treaties, but also of customary norms of general international law that were of fundamental importance for the formation of a new system of international relations. Despite the fact that most of the provisions of the Peace Treaty of Westphalia of 1648 havean applied nature, it is by no means an insignificant medieval treaty, the only virtue of which lies in it ending the Thirty Years' War. The Peace of Westphalia is an example of the first pan-European international treaty in world historywhich formulated a number of binding norms for all states of this part of the world. To sum up, the Westphalian Peace Treaty was, a historic breakthrough the creation of treaty norms of general international law, and therefore the it should be deemed a historical milestone in the creation of international law as a legal system.

The Problem of Sunni-Shiite Confrontation in Turkey’s Foreign Policy of the Early 21st Century

The article reveals the basic principles of Turkey's foreign policy in the field of Sunni-Shiite confrontation in the Middle East at the beginning of the 21st century. In particular, the author of the article notes the recent trend of transforming the Shiite-Sunni conflict from a purely regional problem of Islamic countries into an object of world geopolitics. In such circumstances, an important place in the current religious confrontation is given to Turkey, which occupies a special place in the modern system of international relations. Implementing its neo-Ottoman doctrine in the region, the Turkish leadership considers Islam to be a key factor in uniting the Middle East, so it sees the future of the region in the creation of a world Islamic state (“ummah”). In order to implement this idea, Turkey sees the current Sunni-Shiite confrontation as a remnant. Therefore, it is considered acceptable to establish friendly relations with both the Sunni states in the region and with Shiite Iran. However, as political practice has shown, the Arab countries are not yet ready to recognize Turkey as the only center of gravity, a regional leader, due to strong religious positioning in the region of Saudi Arabia and Iran. All attempts by Turkey to resolve the Sunni-Shiite conflict, based on the doctrine of neo-Ottomanism, have so far failed.

ETHNIC DIALOGUE OF THE AFGHAN PEOPLE IS A WAY TO ACHIEVE STABILITY

The relevance of this topic is determined by the state of the modern system of international relations, economic globalization and the growing interdependence of the world as a whole, and the fact that the situation at any point in it affects the entire globe. Human development is greatly influenced by the situation in the least developed countries of the world, that is, it is impossible to predict the consequences of the instability of the military-political situation in them. Afghanistan, which is currently experiencing the longest armed conflict, is a clear example of this. The civil war led to the disintegration of the Afghan people. One of the important indicators of these processes is the lack of a strong central government and the continuing ethnic division of the country. The fact that the Civil War has been going on for more than 30 years indicates that tensions within ethnic relations are increasing and deepening. The national issue is one of the most difficult problems in the socio-political life of the country. Although the roots of this crisis go back to the long history of Afghan statehood, it was not long before it manifested itself in exactly this way. The study of the ethnic and national composition of the civil war in Afghanistan will help to find the dynamics of its development and its solution. Ethno-political processes have a direct impact on the development of any profession. In this case, an analysis of the ethnic situation of the Afghan state over the last 250 years is crucial.

IMPACT OF THE RUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN CRISIS ON THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA

The relevance of this topic is determined by the state of the modern system of international relations, economic globalism and the growing interdependence of the world as a whole and the fact that the situation at any point in it affects the entire globe. The development of mankind is greatly influenced by the situation in the underdeveloped countries of the world, that is, it is impossible to say before what consequences the instability of the military-political situation in them will lead to. The economic and social rights of people on both sides of the border have already been adversely affected. Rising prices for basic food and commodities, including medical supplies, affect people's right to health care and an adequate standard of living in Ukraine. This is especially felt by the very old, the very young and the poor. The right to education has also been affected by intermittent school closures over the past two weeks due to security concerns. In Russia, the national currency is rapidly depreciating, and prices are rising. This conflict brings with it the activation of mercenary military companies that arrive in Ukraine from different parts of the globe, ranging from specially trained mercenaries from Western countries to militants from Syria and Afghanistan.

Феномен «мягкой силы» и некоторые его аспекты во внешней политике Узбекистана

The scientific article examines the factor of “soft power” and its features in the modern system of international relations. Based on scientific analysis, it is noted that “soft power” is associated with a number of regulatory, institutional, information and human resources. The study also focused on the use of “soft power” in Uzbekistan’s foreign policy. It was noted that the full implementation of “soft power” meets the geopolitical interests of not only Uzbekistan, but the entire region.

Шанхайская организация сотрудничества и проблемы региональной безопасности

The article considers the place and role of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in the modern system of international relations. It analyzes the Organization’s role in regional security, its expansion process, as well as the SCO’s political and legal basis and structural subdivisions. It is noted that regional security remains the priority of the SCO member countries and the Organization itself; the focus of the Organization is on the fight against international terrorism and extremism. The SCO groundworks were set within the framework of the Shanghai Five Group. The main reason for the rapprochement of the five states was the need to settle mutual claims borders. Cooperation within the SCO allowed Kazakhstan to settle several disputed terri- torial issues, and the systematic and transparent reduction of the armed forces in the border areas contributed to the mitigation of military-political tension. An important moment in the Organization’s formation was the admission of India and Pakistan as full members that occurred during the Astana Summit. That expansion resulted in making the SCO one of the largest international organizations and the largest regional association in the world today. The paper presents the main provisions of the Declarations signed in Bishkek and Qingdao. The role of Kazakhstan in the SCO and the activities of the Shanghai Organization during the COVID-19pandemic are presented as separate aspects of the article.

STRENGTHENING THE STATE CYBER DEFENSE AND CREATING OF CYBER TROOPS: STATE, PROBLEMS AND ORGANIZATIONAL-ECONOMIC MEASURES FOR UKRAINE

Topicality. In the last decade, cyberspace has become the fifth separate, specific and important area of armed struggle, along with four traditional ones - "Earth", "Sea", "Air" and "Space". The use of cyber troops and cyber weapons, cyber defense, cyber operations and cyber-attacks is now considered commonplace. Since 2014, Ukraine has been forced to repel hybrid Russian armed aggression, including in cyberspace. But the recognition of cyber defense as a new important component of its defense took place only in March 2016 in the Cyber Security Strategy of Ukraine [1] (hereinafter - the Strategy). At the same time, it states, in particular, that "The basis of the national cybersecurity system will be the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the State Service for Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, the National Police of Ukraine, the National Bank of Ukraine." The Strategy also for the first time for the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (Ministry of Defense) and the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (General Staff of the Armed Forces) identified additional new main tasks, namely: measures to prepare the state to repel military aggression in cyberspace; military cooperation with NATO related to cyber security and joint protection against cyber threats; Ensuring in cooperation with the State Service for Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine and the Security Service of Ukraine cyber protection of its own information infrastructure. Cyber defense - a set of political, economic, social, military, scientific, scientific and technical, informational, legal, organizational and other measures carried out in cyberspace and aimed at protecting the sovereignty and defense capabilities of the state, preventing armed conflict and repelling armed aggression. Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to determine the scientific basis for strengthening the state's cyber defense and creating cyber troops. The organization of effective cyber defense of the state requires the solution of a number of important tasks and, first of all, the elimination of gaps in the regulatory framework. It is unfortunate to recognize that so far, the legislation of Ukraine does not define the basics of cyber defense, especially the purpose, goals, principles and objectives of cyber defense, its subjects and objects, construction, preparation and conduct of such defense, as well as the relevant powers of public authorities. functions and tasks of military administration bodies, other state bodies, responsibilities of officials, rights and responsibilities of citizens of Ukraine, etc. And this, in our opinion, makes it impossible to adequately define the tasks of cyber troops, which should play a leading role in the implementation of cyber defense tasks and should be created to implement the aforementioned decision of the President of Ukraine. Research results. Modern challenges and integrated threats to peace and stability have given rise to new approaches to practice cooperation in the field of cyber defense. The community has arrived agreement that only by joint efforts and on the basis of international law can security be resolved problems of the global information environment in the context of countering the latest information threats. Therefore, the need for policy research is obvious cyber defense of organizations introduced recently, practical consideration of new documents and decisions on their institutional support and implementation in the activities of member states. Conclusion. The transformation of the information paradigm of global development, which is a reflection of new patterns of formation of the modern system of international relations, testifies to the innovations of international cooperation in the field of information and communication and accordingly needs to improve policies for international peace and stability. Modernization of international information security policies is determined by their ability to ensure a multilateral dialogue of international actors, take into account the different positions of global actors in combating the latest information threats and act in accordance with their statutory powers as universal international platforms for consensus on current security issues.
