Abstract
The expansion of the community of Latin American states that achieved independence from their European colonizers was a new historical fact that contributed to the evolution of international law. The principles enshrined today in universal international legal acts were proclaimed on the basis of Latin American doctrinal thought and international diplomatic practice. International law is often viewed from a Eurocentric point of view, which means that little attention is paid to the influence of Latin American doctrine on the development of international law at the universal level. Therefore, it seems appropriate to shine a light on the issue of the contribution of Latin American states to the formation of international law and international legal consciousness.
The materials used for the study were the international legal norms of universal and regional nature, as well as the works of Russian and Latin American scholars. When writing the article, general and particular scientific methods were used, namely, deduction, induction, analysis, synthesis, and the historical method.
The article reveals the origins of the doctrines of international law developed by influential Latin American lawyers, statesmen and political figures in the 19th–20th centuries. These doctrines had a significant impact on the formation and development of international law both in Latin America and in the world as a whole, and influenced the development of positions of Latin American states in the international arena.
The article substantiates the conclusion that modern international law must be considered with due account of the significant contribution of Latin American states to its evolution at the universal level. It also reveals the interconnection of the principles in the doctrines of Latin American lawyers and state figures that were included in the system of international law at the universal level.
