Violence as a political and legal category: an analysis of the concept
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The article presents an analysis of the concept of "violence" as a political and legal category in the context of social relations, examines the semantics of the term and the levels of its content. The essence of violence as a sign of the state is revealed, its role and nature are determined in the context of theories of the origin of the state. On the basis of the formation of the norms of international law, the authors studied the dynamics of the legal regulation of violence from the regulation of the conditions of its use in the context of military operations to the refusal of states from the use of force and the threat of force. The modern approaches of the international community and the domestic legislator to the regulation of the phenomenon of violence at the interpersonal and intergroup levels are noted.

Keywords:
violence, theories of the origin of the State, the right of the State to use force, international humanitarian law, the principle of refraining from the threat or use of force, the right to self-defense
