The article is devoted to the critique of the concept of civilization in Western doctrines of the international community and international law. The development of this concept is directly linked to theological and Eurocentric interpretations of international law. At the level of current international law, this manifests itself in particular in the provisions on "civilized nations", on "standards of human rights", whose ideological justification is the universalist, and not internationalist, doctrine of international law, which is directly linked to the phenomena of crisis in international life. It is argued that it is not the idea of civilization that should be the basis of international legal standards, but on the contrary, international law should create a consensual-conventional framework for the development and interaction of various civilizations.
