The United nations reform: the perspectives and the modern challenges

Abstract

There are 252 countries in the world that each day have their own pace of development, no matter in what vector their economy and foreign policy are moving. The realities of things are such that the actions of the great countries can influence developments in a global context. The processes of globalization and regionalization are intensifying day by day and leave a mark in the history of each country. If every state in the world acted on the postulates of the school of classical realism, relying solely on its own national interests, forgetting the rules of international law, then it already looked like the anarchy of international relations of the pre-Westphalian and Westphalian era. In the twentieth century, the mechanism and rules for the interaction of states as participants in international relations were elaborated, taking into account the sad experience of the two world wars and the practice of using US nuclear weapons in Japan.
