Abstract
This article delves into the analysis of the legal mechanisms used to ensure the sovereignty of member states within the EU and NATO. The research methodology is not just a process but a comprehensive approach that involves analysing both organisations’ essential documents and treaties and studying the practical application of legal mechanisms in different member states. The study’s practical significance is not to be underestimated, as it aims to formulate recommendations for improving legal procedures that effectively enforce member states’ sovereignty, thereby increasing security and stability. The article also highlights the impact of crime as a significant challenge to creating a stable society on peacebuilding and human rights. It covers the experience of EU and NATO member states in implementing and enforcing legal norms to protect national interests and sovereignty.
