Abstract

The article, based on the analysis of known approaches to defining the concepts of global, regional, international security, and national security system, defines the concepts of international security and presents an approach using methods of analogy and a systemic approach to defining the concept of the international security system. The international security system is defined as a set of interconnected and interacting elements: a multitude of common and collective needs, interests, and values of humanity, society, and individual states; global and regional challenges, risks, threats, and dangers, internal and external, objective and subjective, natural, technogenic, and anthropogenic factors that affect the state of international security, the conditions of their genesis, evolution, and balance; systems for ensuring international security within the framework of individual countries, alliances of countries, international organizations, and movements united by goals and objectives to promote the inviolability of global and regional needs of humanity, national interests, and values of individual countries, which interact with each other and carry out relevant activities within the framework of international law, taking into account the legislation of individual countries. The interaction of the elements of the system is carried out by the processes of forming requirements for the system of ensuring international security and its structure; the impact of threats on the interests and the system of ensuring international security; the protection of interests from threats and their detection, prevention, localization, neutralization and elimination. The international security system operates on the basis of the norms of international law, bilateral, multilateral and collective international treaties, taking into account the national interests and legislation of individual countries.
