Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to current issues of international security in contemporary international politics. It is stated that after the period of bipolar world there are changes in the international system, which lead to a change in the understanding of the concepts of "security" and "international security". The emergence of new threats, risks and challenges to international security that affects the internal and external security of states is examined in a summary manner, blurring the lines between the two concepts to some extent. The role of the United Nations (UN) and regional international organizations as contributors to stability and international security is emphasized.
