The activity of institutions of multilateral cooperation in the security sphere is a hot issue of modern international relations within the rapid changes in the development of bilateral and multilateral cooperation between states. Changing priorities and tasks shape the new quality of interstate cooperation and the emergence of «new» geopolitical aspirations of states in the international stage. The issue of reforming and adapting international organizations is becoming one of the most important for maintaining the presence of international organizations as institutions and mechanisms for regulating cooperation regimes.
Nowadays the system of international relations as a complex multicomponent macrosystem is undergoing drastic changes due to growing regional confrontation and rivalry, escalation of the conflict on regional and global levels, increasing problems of global and regional scale in different areas of interstate cooperation. Thus, it is possible to make assumptions about the aggravation of effective functioning of the international security system, ensuring the stability and peace in interstate cooperation due to various mechanisms of bilateral and multilateral cooperation. Hence, it can be argued that security international organizations remains one of the effective mechanisms of the international security system and are mechanisms of collective activity.
The analysis of the activity of organizations testifies to the urgency of the issue of adaptation to new challenges and threats and the need to develop effective mechanisms for reforming the activities of such institutions to the modern system of interstate cooperation in the security sphere.
The current state of development of international cooperation in general and international institutions of multilateral cooperation shows inconsistency with the existing international order. Recent trends in geopolitical confrontation in the international stage, attempts to restore hegemony through regional confrontation and global rivalry have led to an inconsistency in the structure and mechanisms of reconciling the interests and sovereign rights of states in the international arena. Thus, the growing threat to world peace necessitates further scientific analysis of ways to resolve conflicts and the need to reform approaches to the activities and functioning of international organizations and international regimes in accordance with the new order. At the same time, the issue of reforming international organizations, both structurally and in essence, remains an important element of development and rethinking for international political science.
