Summary/Abstract: After the catastrophic and devastating consequences of World War II, which shook the whole world, the UN was established, one of the main goals of which was to establish the legal framework of the basic principles for the use of military force and military intervention. Namely, for the preservation of collective security, the Charter of the organization itself and numerous conventions strictly prohibit war and the use of force between the subjects of international law. In that context, various steps have been taken and binding prohibitions on the use of force have been introduced. The motive of the research consists of the introduced mechanisms for the preservation of collective security. Namely, the paper tries to analyze the legal framework of the concepts of military power and soft power. The paper tries to investigate (the differences between) the concepts of power, conflict, military power and soft power with their methods and mechanisms provided by international law.
