Abstract :The aim of this research is to explain NATO\\\'s international responsibility in geopolitical crises from the perspective of international humanitarian law. The research method is descriptive-analytical. The evidence shows that in the field of international relations NATO, on the one hand, leads to the consolidation of international relations, and on the other hand, causes problems and uncertainties in their functioning. Meanwhile, NATO\\\'s special character causes further uncertainties in international law, particularly in the area of the application of the rules of international responsibility. NATO\\\'s military nature makes the role of its members in the conduct and direction of the organisation\\\'s activities more pronounced. Accordingly, the article aims to propose changes in the structure of nations and the articles of the United Nations Charter in order to transform NATO\\\'s responsibility from a strategy of dealing with the rights of nations to a strategy of dealing with the rights of individuals.
