This article presents the scientific and legal analysis of the category of "the right of international cooperation". The issues of the existence in contemporary international law of the general obligation to cooperate have been analyzed. The positivist and natural law approaches to justify the obligation of states to cooperate have been highlighted. The main sources of international law, establishing the obligation of States to cooperate have been pointed out and their critical analyses have been conducted. The cooperation as to international commons has been studied in particular concerning the use and disposal of the international seabed area, Antarctica and outer space. English abstract O. Meschia The Law of international cooperation. The term "law of cooperation" has been developed as a counterpart to the term "law of coexistence", the latter describing the traditional modern – International law. The main feature of such international law of cooperation is the obligation of Statesto cooperate with each other. The term cooperation has never been defined by an international treaty or international decision. Even the – The Declaration on Friendly Relations of 1970 (UN GA Res. 2625(XXV)) proceeds from a preconceived terminology.

Since cooperation as such has no inherent value, the term "cooperation" used in the context of the law of cooperation therefore means cooperation among States for the purposes of development to increase the social welfare of the world community. Cooperation has. to be distinguished from interdependence and solidarity. Interdependence does not describe obligations or rights to act but rather the factual situation of mutual dependence among States. Thus interdependence is a sociological term without direct legal consequences though a steadily increasing interdependence of States leads to an intensification of cooperation. Solidarity means the obligation of an individual State to take into consideration in its policy the interests of other States/or their subjects or the common interests of the world community. It envisages the equalization of States by bilateral or multilateral institutionalized cooperation. In so far solidarity means the intensification of cooperation for development. The objective of developmental cooperation can be twofold. It may envisage the promotion of the interests of all the States involved, as when a given activity can only be undertaken effectively by the
