Abstract

In the current context of the crisis of international law, countries are faced with problems of legally supporting both their own independence and the need to defend the rights of their citizens abroad. One of the most effective legal instruments has become the virtually forgotten “ordre public”, the use of which allows for the protection of public interests in a complex geopolitical environment. This article examines the evolution of the concept of “ordre public”, its role and content in international and national legal practice, as well as various approaches to the interpretation and application of this controversial legal phenomenon. Originating as an institution for the protection of the rights of the upper class, the public order clause has survived centuries of oblivion, transforming into a public law institution regulating not only the applicability of foreign law and the rulings of foreign courts in the sphere of private law regulation of transnational relations, but also ensuring national security and the interests of the state in international relations. The article analyzes the theoretical concepts, historical roots, nature, and contemporary application of the public order clause in the legal systems of various states, as well as the main challenges and prospects for using the protective clause in the context of globalization and international cooperation.
