Considering the origin of validity and binding nature of legal rules, different fields of jurisprudence could be divided into two schools of ‘natural law’ and ‘legal positivism’. Each of the schools has had their own specific followers and supremacy during different time intervals. Meanwhile, legal positivism has had manifestations in the realms of international law and principal organs of international community such as Security Council and International Court of Justice. Although there are major problems and inconsistencies in this viewpoint and its position, legal positivism theory is manifested through foundations of international legal system. Nowadays it has become clear that many international legal rules stem from their ‘positivistic’ nature. A general glance at views of scholars and specialists in the field of ‘legal positivism’ reveals the fact that the government stands as the central pivot. The article casts a brief look at legal positivism, definitions, views and position in the principal and main organs of the United Nations Organization.
