EFFECTIVITY OF PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL LAW

Abstract

Last century was significant for the public international law, which has developed rapidly, bringing some improvements regarding protecting human right despite the fact, it faces huge challenges regarding its effectivity. Through descriptive, normative and critical methods of research the article attempts to show, that there is a need for paradigm change in order to make public international law more effective. But what should be a new paradigm? What can increase the effectivity of the public international law? To answer these questions, the detailed inspection of the term of effectivity, as well as creation and the enforcement processes of the public international law norms is needed. Research shows common consent of states, legitimate constitutive act, authority as well as appropriate enforcement are pillars, based on which the public international law can uphold its effect. However, it will take some time.
