DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNATIONAL LAW AFTER WORLD WAR II
DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNATIONAL LAW AFTER WORLD WAR II

Summary/Abstract: The era following World War II marked a significant turning point in international relations and law, laying the groundwork for a new legal and political paradigm. This paper deals with the study of the evolution of international law in the post-war period, focusing on the innovations, challenges, and changes that shaped the global legal order. Our analysis begins by considering the establishment of the United Nations and their role in promoting international peace, security, and justice, as well as the impact of their normative frameworks on international law. Considering that „authors either completely avoid the problem of defining international law; or avoiding definition, they only analyze the nature and role of international law; that is, the social function of international law, its relationship with justice, morality, general social interest, etc.,“ (Krivokapic, 2017:28) we will try to give a correct definition of international law as international law is a set of rules and norms that regulate relations between states and other subjects of international law, such as international organizations and, to a certain extent, individuals. This law encompasses a wide range of issues, including diplomatic relations, trade, war and peace, human rights, environment, maritime law, and much more, and in the continuation, we will cover the development of all these branches of law immediately after World War II.
