Abstract

Objective. The Western concept of world order is based on coercive dominance, economic injustice and ideological monopoly over all significant spheres of society. The process of "universalizing" values and developing the so-called "common" approaches has occurred without regard for the national characteristics and development goals of the world majority. Rethinking of the ideological foundations of international law is necessary today. Conclusions. The author demonstrates that modern international law is based on procedural, rather than substantive, justice. In the context of actual inequality as a result of colonialism, formal legal equality often turns in practice into fiction. It is substantiated that the concept of "Multipolarity and equitable development for all" proposed by the President of the Russian Federation opens up the prospect for all states to choose their own development path and is capable of bringing genuine justice to the content of social interaction at the international level. Methodology. Historical analysis, dialectics, systems analysis, forecasting. Scientific and practical significance. The article contributes to further development of scientific research activities and improvement of law enforcement practices, taking into account the nationally oriented vector in the context of the practical implementation of "Multipolarity and equitable development for all" concept.
