On the issue of the history of the regulation of the prohibition of the propaganda of aggressive war in international law.

The subject of this study is the formation of the international criminal law sector concerning the regulation of provisions on crimes of aggression. The author examines the development and adoption of international documents aimed at criminalizing the propaganda of aggressive war in retrospect, such as the UN Charter, the draft Code of Crimes against Peace and Humanity, etc. The author's significant contribution lies in the comprehensive overview of adopted treaties and resolutions, as well as the analysis of the contentious issues that arose during the adoption of the respective documents. The relevance of this study is underscored by the complex international political and economic situation and the record number of regional conflicts, making the retrospective examination of this issue important for developing more effective measures to counteract crimes of aggression, particularly the propaganda of aggressive wars, to fulfill the task of criminal law in ensuring peace and security for humanity. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the author's comprehensive review of international documents to determine the most effective ways to counteract the propaganda of aggression in the context of the current international situation while reintroducing the term "propaganda of aggressive war" into scientific discourse, as it is absent from the legislation of the Russian Federation and replaced with "public calls for unleashing aggressive war." In conducting this research, the author employed historical, comparative legal methods, as well as analytical, deductive, and inductive methods. As a result of the work carried out, the author concluded that over the past century, there have been many attempts to limit not only aggressive war itself but also its propaganda. To a large extent, the starting point for this was the judgment of the Nuremberg Tribunal; however, efforts to criminalize the act in question were undertaken long before that. Through a comprehensive analysis of international documents, the author also noted that despite the adoption of relevant resolutions, the global community has not reached a consensus on recognizing propaganda of aggressive war, rather than its individual elements (incitement), as an international crime, since the phenomenon of "propaganda" itself encompasses a broader range of actions, many of which do not fall under the relevant norms.
