DEMOCRACY IN INTERNATIONAL LAW

Abstract

While the concept of democracy is an old concept at the internal level, it dates back to the
ancient Greek society, meaning the rule of the people or the authority of the people. However, it
is a modern concept at the international level. In light of the transformations witnessed by the
world, and the aftermath of the Second World War and the aftermath of the Cold War and the
bipolar war and the collapse of the Soviet Union, the idea of democracy was firmly established at
the level of international law and became closely linked to the idea of human rights. Political and
free and fair elections are a criterion for any democracy. International law requires respect for
human rights and the use of elections; it permits the use of force to establish or restore
democracy. Promising international law and democracy are the rules of international law
implications.
