Methods of International Relations:
States are bound to develop relations with each other to
fulfill their needs and achieve national interest. These international
relations can be divided into two parts:
1:-Common methods.
2:-Special methods.
Ordinary Methods of International Relations:
The mechanisms by which states often develop
relationships with each other are called the common mechanisms.
These methods are as follows:
1:-Through the United Nations.
2:-Through the International Court of Justice.
3:-Through International Organizations.
Through the United Nations:
On October 24, 1945, the Supreme Powers established an
international organization known as the United Nations to achieve peace and
harmony in the world and to solve problems between countries. The United
Nations has its own charter (Manifesto) and has many institutions. A country
that becomes a member of this organization is considered a part of the
international community.
The following are the conditions to become a member of
the international organization United Nations:
1:-The
real initial members of the United Nations are those countries that
participated in the conference held in San Francisco (USA) or earlier signed
the Declaration of the United Nations of 1942 and which, in addition to signing
the present Charter, signed Article 110. It will also be endorsed accordingly.
2:-The participation of a country in the United Nations
will be implemented by the General Assembly on the recommendation of the
Security Council.
3.
All nations that accept the responsibilities outlined in the current Charter
and are, in the Organization's judgement, capable and willing to fulfil those
responsibilities are eligible to join the United Nations.
4:-A
member of the United Nations who violates its Charter may be expelled by the
General Assembly on the recommendation of the Security Council.
5:-A
member of the United Nations against whom the Security Council has taken
countermeasures may be terminated by the General Assembly on the recommendation
of the Security Council.
Through the International Court of Justice:
The International Court of Justice resolves issues
between states to establish justice at the global level. This court decides on
the interpretation and enforcement of international agreements. All member
states of the United Nations are within its jurisdiction. If a state is not a
member of the United Nations, it can conditionally become a party to any
dispute before this court. The judicial procedure of the International Court of
Justice is that when a state wants to present an issue before the court, it
submits a request to the judge of that court. Your special issue can also be
presented in the form of a contract declaration. This court consists of 15
members who are called judges of the court. Out of these fifteen members, the
President and the Vice President are elected. The quorum of the court consists
of at least 9 judges. The majority view is taken into consideration while
making decisions. If the votes are tied, the president casts his casting vote.
His decision cannot be appealed. The court has no authority or power to enforce
the judgment. Most of the time, all his actions go in vain because the powerful
states do not abide by his decisions.
Through International Organizations:
There are many organizations of the United Nations,
thanks to which states develop mutual relations. For example, the International
Monetary Fund, the Economic and Social Council, the International Labor
Organization, the Institute of Food and Health, the Institute of Education and
Cultural Organization.
Special Methods of International Relations:
Special methods are also used to expand international
relations. This procedure is as follows:
1:-Cooperation Treaties.
2:-Cooperation Through Block Power.
Cooperation Treaties:
Both weak and powerful states form alliances and groups
to increase their strength and stability. When weak and small states face
threats from large and foreign states, they enter into defense and alliance
agreements with their friendly states, in which it is agreed that if one state
attacks the treaty state, all the states involved in the treaty will respond to
it.
Cooperation Through Block Power:
Big and powerful states of the world add more countries
to their power and group. In the 20th century, the world was divided into the
American and Russian blocs, and the Cold War continued for a long time between
the two countries. Some states of the world were associated with the American
bloc, and some states of the world were allied with Russia. In the last decade
of the 20th century (in 1991), Russia disintegrated, and the world became
unipolar. The United States emerged as the only power to fight the war of
interests between the two countries still ongoing.
Other Methods:
Apart from the above-mentioned methods, states use
several other methods to increase their power and strength.
Countries continue to increase their relations through ambassadors. For this purpose, the state with which relations are to be established opens its embassy and appoints an ambassador. Sometimes representatives are appointed to a UN body to play a significant role in developing international relations. States also come closer to each other through UN agencies such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The aim of all the above methods is to promote mutual harmony among the states so that the world can be blessed with the fruits of peace and development and to make it possible to eliminate all discriminations and racial pride from the world.
