Summary/Abstract: The international rule of law is a principle according to which everyone - individuals, institutions, even states, and international organizations - must respect and obey to the law and laws of the international legal order must respect and obey law, rules, and regulations of the international legal order. The international rule of law is a (legal and) political ideal around which there was a consensus of all - both states and individuals and political and the legal profession and science. In the modern world and with the ubiquitous globalization, the (already) traditional mechanisms of legal protection lose their importance and should be addressed. The (international) rule of law faces many challenges, primarily those related to preserving the existing international legal order based on the principles established by the Charter of the United Nations Organization, and adaptation to the new social changes that have occurred in the last few years. More than ever before, international law and the international legal order are conditioned by developments in international political (and economic) relations. The aim of this paper is to present a fundamental definition of the (international) rule of law and the possibility of applying this concept at the international level, as a means of ensuring peace in international relations.
