Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of theoretical and legal aspects of the implementation of decisions of international tribunals in the national legal systems of states. The relevance of the chosen topic is due to the strengthening of the role of international justice in the context of globalization, the growing importance of international legal standards in the field of human rights, international security and the rule of law, as well as the need to ensure effective interaction between international and national legal orders. The article analyzes the legal nature of decisions of international tribunals, clarifies their place in the system of sources of law and identifies the main theoretical approaches to understanding the mechanisms of their implementation at the national level. Particular attention is paid to the correlation of the principles of state sovereignty and international obligations of states, as well as the role of constitutional norms in ensuring the implementation of decisions of international judicial bodies. It is substantiated that the implementation of decisions of international tribunals is not limited to the formal fulfillment of international obligations, but is a complex legal process that affects the transformation of national legislation, law enforcement practice and legal consciousness. It is proven that the effectiveness of such influence largely depends on the level of integration of international law into the national legal system and on the availability of effective domestic mechanisms for the implementation of international decisions. It is concluded that the implementation of decisions of international tribunals is an important factor in the development of modern legal systems and requires further theoretical understanding within the framework of the theory of state and law and international law.
