In the article, the role of international judicial institutions in the resolution of international conflicts is extensively analyzed based on the existing diversity of opinions in the legal literature and international practice. The task of increasing and improving the role of international-legal mechanisms of global security, as well as increasing their efficiency, has become the main trend of modern world development, in which international judicial mechanisms occupy a special place. The use of international judicial institutions together with other methods and means of dispute resolu- tion recognized at the international level can fully reduce the destructive impact of international conflicts on global security in general by strengthening the institution of international responsibil- ity.

In this sense, the activity of the UN International Court of Justice should be specially men- tioned. Increasing the activity of the UN International Court of Justice is an international necessity and can support the restoration of international justice. In addition, ensuring the rule of interna- tional law acts as the most important factor at this time. In the activities of the UN International Court of Justice, in addition to international treaties, the practice of widely referring to interna- tional legal norms, as well as various fields of international law (international humanitarian law, international human rights law, international maritime law, etc.), regulate relations on internation- al security, international security its strengthening in the sphere of law should be considered as an important contribution to international law. In addition, in the direction of expanding the role and activities of the UN International Court of Justice in the resolution of international conflicts, the activities of the states should be further increased, serious international legal measures, including measures of international responsibility, should be implemented in order to immediately implement the decisions of the UN International Court of Justice. Finally, giving the authority of the UN Inter- national Court of Justice to clarify the issue of compatibility of the decisions of the Security Council with international law is also an urgent issue.
