Threats and the Use of Force in International Relations is a widely prevalent practice that has consistently played a significant role in shaping local, regional, and global political climates. Given the destructive nature of conflicts, restraining the use of force has become a pressing humanitarian imperative. Consequently, the international community strives to limit confrontation and aggression on the global political stage as much as possible.

This study is composed of two parts. The first part aims to examine the concept of the non-use of force in international law and, through the cases of three conflict-affected regions—Transnistria, Kosovo, and Northern Cyprus—assess the relevance and significance of agreements on the non-use of force in the process of conflict transformation. These cases were selected based on several considerations: all three conflicts are protracted, involve ethnic differences between opposing parties, exhibit secessionist tendencies, and are geographically situated on the European continent. The second part of the study will focus on the specific context of conflicts in Georgia, particularly in Tbilisi, exploring the perceived role of agreements on the use of force in facilitating conflict resolution processes.
