Keywords:
Uniform international rules, legal convergence, necessities and challenges, international treaties, international organizationsAbstract
Laws and regulations, aimed at regulating social relations and maintaining public order, vary according to the characteristics and needs of societies. The convergence of laws through unification or harmonization, by means such as the establishment of conventions, the creation of international organizations, or reliance on the rulings of international judicial bodies, is a legal, economic, social, and international necessity in today’s world. Embracing such harmonization fosters international peace and security and ultimately enhances human welfare. Despite the emergence of obstacles and challenges that have slowed this process, they have never been able to halt it. This study, relying on legal doctrine, library and field research, a descriptive-analytical method, and international events and documents, critically analyzes and responds to ambiguities regarding the feasibility of legal convergence and the establishment of uniform laws among the subjects of the global community. It examines the forms of implementation of such a system, its validation in the international community, as well as its necessities and challenges. The study concludes that the creation of uniform international rules is a multidimensional phenomenon and a platform for enhancing human awareness, improving international trade, fostering greater proximity and coordination among international actors, developing global information dissemination and information systems, and advancing diplomacy. Ultimately, it is an inevitable and highly significant international issue at present and will remain complex and influential in the future.
