The article deals with an urgent problem related to the prospects for further development of International Law. The point of view is substantiated that the existing views and concepts that depict the gloomy future of International Law are subjective interpretations of the objective process of development of the latter, giving rise to myths circulating in the scientific and expert environment. History shows that during the period of aggravation of the geopolitical situation in the world, the role of International Law is temporarily weakened and questioned. The author comes to the conclusion, that the evolution of modern International Law can be represented as a symbolic, constantly oscillating pendulum. This situation will continue for a long time until the developing globalization brings human civilization to a stable state.
The article is devoted to the actual problem of the universalization of human rights, which occurs with the development of international relations. The author considers universalization as a process with its characteristic dynamics of development, which will eventually lead to its universality and recognition by all states. Special attention is paid to the retrospective aspects, as well as the basic components of the process of such universalization. At the same time, the universalism of human rights is examined through the prism of universal values. The article concludes with the conclusion that the deepening of interstate cooperation is the only possible way to create stable and strong relations between states, which will inevitably lead to the triumph of universal values and the universal universalization of human rights.
