This scientific article reflected the main aspects of international security law and the specifics of the legal support of the mechanism and principle of disarmament to preserve and maintain peace and security of people. In addition, the article provides a legal analysis of disarmament as a principle of modern international law. The study of the law enforcement practice of the international legal doctrine and the current international legal and internal acts of states led to the conclusion that the principle of disarmament has not been formed in modern international law. It can only be asserted about the formation of the principle of limiting arms, which is closely linked with one of the principles of international humanitarian law - the principle of limiting the means and methods of conducting military operations. At the same time, disarmament is essential for the maintenance of international peace and security. On the other hand, military cooperation between states in accordance with the principles of international law is an important component for ensuring national, regional and universal security.
