The rivalry of civilizations predetermined the creation of a conglomerate of positive norms governing the legal relations of secular states, taking into account their sovereignty, peaceful means of resolving disputes (including arbitration), standards of activities at sea, humanitarian issues. These norms are consolidated called classical international law - this is what the article is devoted to. The author outlined the framework of the classical period in the development of international law (1648-1919), analyzed a number of important documents and made a logical conclusion on their basis that modern international law is impossible without the preliminary flourishing of three elements of its classical period: recognized subjects, multilateral sources and intergovernmental bodies. Accordingly, the importance of the article in the formation of knowledge of the features of the history of international law is difficult to overestimate.
