Abstract

The article deals with an urgent problem related to the prospects for further development of International Law. The point of view is substantiated that the existing views and concepts that depict the gloomy future of International Law are subjective interpretations of the objective process of development of the latter, giving rise to myths circulating in the scientific and expert environment. History shows that during the period of aggravation of the geopolitical situation in the world, the role of International Law is temporarily weakened and questioned. The author comes to the conclusion, that the evolution of modern International Law can be represented as a symbolic, constantly oscillating pendulum. This situation will continue for a long time until the developing globalization brings human civilization to a stable state.
