Summary/Abstract: This article argues that the right to pro-democratic intervention does not exist as an exception to the legal rule about the prohibition on the threat or use of force in international relations. article addresses new interpretations of the nature of state sovereignty that in legal doctrine generate demands for the redefinition of existing rules regarding the use of force. However, by analyzing different cases in practice it shows that the claim about the emergence of the new customary right to pro-democratic intervention in international law is not sustainable. Finally, attention is given to the current situation in Ukraine in order to show relevance of this issue.
