Summary/Abstract: The dynamic of changes of the International Society increased dramatically in the past 50–100 years. Fundamental changes touched also the domain of International Law, as created after 1945 by the relevant international actors through the United Nations, Law which regulates the current international relations. Norms and fundamental principles of International Law, considered for a long time as immutable, are subject of serious challenges generatedbynewbalancesofpowerintheworld, thecomplexprocess of Globalization, by terrorism, illegal migration etc. Temptations for instance to revert back the fundamental “acquis” of the European Union, such as European integration, fundamental rights and liberties, the moral Judaic–Christian foundation of Europe etc. into an updated version of a Europe of sovereign states on Westphalian model became a reality. The reconfiguration of the Global system and the future of knowledge from this point of view will imply a serious effort for the renewal of the fundamental legal concepts, but mainly a new quality and vision of the international political leadership. For generating once again progress, these changes should nevertheless not renounce to what was fundamentally acquired, to the essential principles and values embodied by the Humanity in the new born post–War society and its International Norms.
