Denunciation of International Agreements in the System of Modern Law as a Political and Legal Instrument and Its Impact on National Legal Orders

The subject of this study is the phenomenon of denunciation of international agreements, in particular European conventions, including the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and the Convention against Torture. The authors aim to consider denunciation not as an isolated political act, but as a phenomenon that has a systemic impact on the legal order and international relations. The methodological basis of the study is comparative legal and institutional analysis, as well as elements of political and legal discourse, which allow us to identify the motives of states, their strategic calculations, and the consequences of withdrawing from international obligations. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that denunciation is considered for the first time in the context of a political and legal instrument, and not only as a technical legal mechanism. The analysis concludes that, first, denunciation is an instrument of political positioning; second, its consequences are not only legal but also symbolic; and third, domestic legal systems are forced to adapt to the changed architecture of international obligations. Overall, the work aims to show denunciation as part of a broader strategy of states to balance sovereignty and inclusion in international law.
