ON SOME POINTS REGARDING THE PRINCIPLE OF GOOD NEIGHBORLINESS BETWEEN STATES IN CONTEMPORARY INTERNATIONAL LAW

Abstract

In this article, the author analyzes questions regarding the definition and legal properties of the principle of good neighborliness in contemporary international law. The relevance of the chosen topic is explained by the fact that in the modern conditions of active foreign policy of Uzbekistan, building good-neighborly relations is defined as one of the priority directions of the country’s foreign policy. The scientific novelty of this article is determined by the fact that, despite the frequent reference to the principle of good neighborliness in the main sources of modern international law and in conceptual documents of foreign policy of the countries of the world, including Uzbekistan, in the legal literature, especially in domestic doctrinal sources, there is an acute lack of legal comprehension of the principle good neighborliness. Using general scientific and special methods: system analysis; structural legal, dialectical, historical approaches; the method of logical deduction and induction, as well as the method of comparative jurisprudence, the author will try to reveal the legal essence and properties of the principle of good-neighborliness between states. Based on the analysis of the legal and regulatory sources of modern international law, as well as the existing doctrinal base, in particular the works of foreign researchers, the author offers his conclusions regarding the legal properties and the international legal nature of the principle of good neighborliness.
