Etyka w stosunkach międzynarodowych - kilka refleksji

Abstract

The author presents the issue of intemational ethics or morality as one of the few normative Systems that regulate intemational relations (Inter alia next to intemational law or political norms). The article begins with the description of levels at which ethics in intemational relations is present - the level of individuals, of States, of intemational community). The author attempts to compare intemational law and ethics and point to differences between those two normative systems and manners of distinguishing legał norms from morał ones. The emphasis is laid on the idiosyncrasy of morality (ethics). Finally the author analyses the reasons for growing importance of the ethics as well as the obstacles in that process.
