The subject of the article are the reflections on the right to social and international order on the example of the activities of the United Nations. The United Nations has passed many human rights acts, such as declarations and legally binding laws. The conclusion is that, the unquestionable achievement of the United Nations is the adoption of a large number of legal acts, which guarantee the social and international order. In spite of it, there are no effective mechanisms to guarantee these rights and to seek justice on the international forum.

Przedmiotem artykułu są rozważania na temat prawa do ładu społecznego i międzynarodowego na przykładzie działań ONZ. Organizacja Narodów Zjednoczonych przyjęła wiele aktów dotyczących praw człowieka, takich jak deklaracje i prawnie wiążące prawa. Wniosek jest taki, że niekwestionowanym osiągnięciem Organizacji Narodów Zjednoczonych jest przyjęcie dużej liczby aktów prawnych, które gwarantują porządek społeczny i międzynarodowy. Mimo to nie ma skutecznych mechanizmów gwarantujących te prawa i szukania sprawiedliwości na forum międzynarodowym.
