International peace and security have long been recognized as fundamental prerequisites for societal development. Throughout human history, the international community has strived to address challenges and threats to peace and security through necessary reforms. As we continue to seek effective tools and practices to address these challenges, a new perspective and system are being sought for the required solutions.
This chapter will delve into these tools and practices, as well as the new perspectives and systems. The study aims to explore the judicial and political strategies that serve as safeguards and alternatives for international peace and security, and to identify areas for further research.
*HISTORICAL BACKGROUND*
In the latter half of the 20th century, scholars began to recognize that international security was a dynamic concept that required special attention, leading to the term' national security.' However, the phenomena that 'security' encompasses are much broader and older, and they continue to evolve. During the 20th century, the nature of threats to external and internal security started to change and multiply, necessitating a shift in our approach to their resolution.
Despite the advent of nuclear weapons, the size of armed forces continued to grow, prompting the General Assembly of the United Nations to adopt two landmark resolutions, 377 (V) and 379 (V), which established principles that must be strictly observed when using armed force. The use of armed force to suppress dissent was increasingly viewed as unjust. Many technological advancements pioneered in the West were quickly integrated into the armories of numerous states.Focused on their national security, the five major military powers often overlooked other states' security concerns, leading them to form alliances as a self-help mechanism.
