Abstract
This article presents an original concept of establishment of international regional law as a branch of
international law at the present stage of social development. The legal system is constantly being updated with new
branches and sub-branches of law, institutions, and norms, which makes it more efficient overall. The study of
integrational processes in the conditions of development of geopolitical competitiveness, active formation of new
regional economic, social, and military-political spaces, demands mobilization of not only political, social, and economic
resources, but also legal. A complex analysis of integrational processes within the framework of current regional
formations allowed the author to determine a number of signs such as fusion and interconnection of national interests,
which ensures balance of national interests of the member-states of regional formation on one hand, and the interests of
the regional formation itself on the other. The author substantiates the conclusion that creation and functionality of such
regional formations is impossible without presence of international regional law, the element of which can possess
certain level of autonomy with regards to both, national law of the member-states, as well as the international law.
