General Assembly of the League of Nations adopted a General Act of 1929 for the peaceful settlement of international disputes, which was confirmed by the UN General Assembly in 1949. Regional organizations in nearly every continent establish and develop their systems for the peaceful settlement of disputes. However, there are still many disputes that remain unresolved, and in recent years we have witnessed the most radical attempts to resolve disputes by force - mostly outside the United Nations and the provisions of the Charter of the Organization on peaceful settlement of disputes. The first convention for the peaceful settlement of disputes was adopted at the peace conference in The Hague in 1899, although neither the first nor the second Hague Conference in 1907 failed to set mandatory rules on the peaceful settlement of disputes. Some authors of international disputes divide them into legal and political. Based on these positions, legal disputes are those disputes arising from the proceedings of legislative, judicial and executive branches of the state, its armed forces or individuals living in its territory, as political disputes those resulting from conflicting political interests.

General Assembly of the League of Nations adopted a General Act of 1929 for the peaceful settlement of international disputes, which was confirmed by the UN General Assembly in 1949. Regional organizations in nearly every continent establish and develop their systems for the peaceful settlement of disputes. However, there are still many disputes that remain unresolved, and in recent years we have witnessed the most radical attempts to resolve disputes by force - mostly outside the United Nations and the provisions of the Charter of the Organization on peaceful settlement of disputes. The first convention for the peaceful settlement of disputes was adopted at the peace conference in The Hague in 1899, although neither the first nor the second Hague Conference in 1907 failed to set mandatory rules on the peaceful settlement of disputes. Some authors of international disputes divide them into legal and political. Based on these positions, legal disputes are those disputes arising from the proceedings of legislative, judicial and executive branches of the state, its armed forces or individuals living in its territory, as political disputes those resulting from conflicting political interests.

General Assembly of the League of Nations adopted a General Act of 1929 for the peaceful settlement of international disputes, which was confirmed by the UN General Assembly in 1949. Regional organizations in nearly every continent establish and develop their systems for the peaceful settlement of disputes. However, there are still many disputes that remain unresolved, and in recent years we have witnessed the most radical attempts to resolve disputes by force - mostly outside the United Nations and the provisions of the Charter of the Organization on peaceful settlement of disputes. The first convention for the peaceful settlement of disputes was adopted at the peace conference in The Hague in 1899, although neither the first nor the second Hague Conference in 1907 failed to set mandatory rules on the peaceful settlement of disputes. Some authors of international disputes divide them into legal and political. Based on these positions, legal disputes are those disputes arising from the proceedings of legislative, judicial and executive branches of the state, its armed forces or individuals living in its territory, as political disputes those resulting from conflicting political interests. Of course, this is all in theory, but in practice it is very difficult to distinguish these cases, or mark them as legal or political.

    The issue of peaceful settlement of disputes is old as the disputes that have existed for centuries between the countries.

General Assembly of the League of Nations adopted a General Act of 1929 for the peaceful settlement of international disputes, which was confirmed by the UN General Assembly in 1949. Regional organizations in nearly every continent establish and develop their systems for the peaceful settlement of disputes. However, there are still many disputes that remain unresolved, and in recent years we have witnessed the most radical attempts to resolve disputes by force - mostly outside the United Nations and the provisions of the Charter of the Organization on peaceful settlement of disputes. The first convention for the peaceful settlement of disputes was adopted at the peace conference in The Hague in 1899, although neither the first nor the second Hague Conference in 1907 failed to set mandatory rules on the peaceful settlement of disputes. Some authors of international disputes divide them into legal and political. Based on these positions, legal disputes are those disputes arising from the proceedings of legislative, judicial and executive branches of the state, its armed forces or individuals living in its territory, as political disputes those resulting from conflicting political interests. Of course, this is all in theory, but in practice it is very difficult to distinguish these cases, or mark them as legal or political.
