Abstract: The notion of a supranational union of peace is an alternative idea developed by European thinkers, with the goal of reforming the European system of states, and as a response to the challenges of modernization and globalization. It represents a union of states based on the principle of subsidiarity and multilevel governance. The EU as a supranational union raises the question: How does the EU-method influence international relations? While looking for an answer to this question, this article investigates the following topics: the historical bases of the idea of a supranational union of peace; the meaning of supranationalism in the EU; the EU-model and the world; and the human rights aspects of supranationalism
