Abstract: As a result of the long historical evolution on the international arena, a society of the states has been created, whose relations the international law is called to regulate. The main significance of the existence and functioning of this company shows the aspects of maintaining a certain legal and social order. At the same time, for the international community, the issues related to maintaining that order are of greater importance for international law than for the national legal order, or, in the international life, supranational universal bodies are lacking, having authority before the sovereign states. Due to the diversification of this field, the emergence of new subjects of law and new fields of application, in the development of international law, a series of tendencies have been manifested: first, categorically, there has been a metamorphosis of classical international law into a right of the entire international community. Today, international legal regulation is expanding on the newer areas of human activity, and international law is progressively developing. Older methods are being consolidated, as well as new methods are created to comply with the requirements of international law and to maintain the contemporary legal order based on the collective and individual measures of the states. At the same time, on the nature of contemporary international law and on the international legal order, as never, the activity of international organizations and the activity of social-political currents, as well as of nongovernmental organizations, is imposed.
