Abstract
The article deals with the implementation of the principles and norms of international law. There are systematic violations and discreditations of the very essence of international law. Analyzing specific decisions and rulings of the European Court of Human Rights and political decisions of European states and the United States, we observe the possibility of developing and calculating the probabilities of compliance with the norms and principles of international law or their violation. We emphasize the foresight of Russia's policy of withdrawing from the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
We analyze the term «legal entropy» and its correlation with the entropy associated with the transfer of information in information theory. In this paper, we will consider the limited randomness on the issues of interest, determine the spaces of possible options for implementing the norms and principles of international law for specific countries, events, decisions of international judicial bodies on the example of the ECHR. Here are hypothetical figures for calculating entropy for the occurrence of each of the expected developments of the event in order to see the most probable picture of what happened or the future.
For the effective development of international law, it is necessary to introduce such a term as «legal entropy», given that there is a stable correlation between jurisprudence and politics. This will allow for a more objective consideration of international law as a whole.
