Extract

States are closely connected with each other in the modern world. This interconnection is due to the objective necessity for all of them to enter into certain relations. Peaceful co-existence of states with different economic and social systems determines the growing significance of co-operation between them. The necessity for cooperation can be explained not only from the economic point of view but also by the fact that a number of crises in the international intercourse still remain unregulated, thus presenting a threat to maintenance of the peace in many parts of the world.
