Ways of convergence of the Asian region’s states in International law

The processes of convergence, interspersed with divergence, encompass the entire international community, all subjects without exception and all aspects of social reality. Practically all states of the world are striving to pool their resources and efforts to strengthen their positions in the international arena. However, the characteristics of such processes in different regions of the planet differ significantly. The beginning of this century is marked by an increased scientific and public interest in the processes of regional cooperation taking place around the world. Researchers are thoroughly engaged in identifying their essence, determining the degree of their influence on various spheres of life of various states. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of regional associations and now virtually every country belongs to at least one regional association. In the framework of this work, the international organization as a form of legal convergence (rapprochement) was subjected to the analysis, since it is the form of cooperation that implies a deep, specific rule-making work and includes the contract as a form of convergence. This is especially true of international organizations with the supranational nature of a legal character. Here we are talking about international organizations of the integrative type, which have special powers: to create uniform supranational bodies (including judicial) and uniform legislation; issue legally binding acts; limit some of the sovereign rights of member states with the consent of the latter.
