Despite the widespread use of award diplomacy, this institution remains weakly institutionalized in international legal terms, which generates systemic collisions between political expediency and the normative requirements of award statutes. The purpose of the study is to identify and systematize the international legal problems arising from the awarding of foreign leaders and to propose doctrinal ways of their resolution.Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the study includes the formal legal method, historical legal analysis, comparative legal method, as well as a systematic approach to the analysis of international legal phenomena. The empirical base comprises precedents of award practice of the USSR (1963–1964), the Russian Federation (1991–2024), as well as foreign states (Czech Republic, USA, France, Finland, Hungary, Canada, China).Research results. As a result of the analysis, four categories of international legal problems arising from the awarding of foreign leaders have been identified: (1) the problem of compliance with the award statute (ultra vires); (2) the problem of symbolic legitimation of repressive policies as a form of violation of the principle of non-intervention; (3) the problem of irrevocability of awarding and jurisdictional vacuum in the revocation of awards; (4) the problem of "alternative awards" by non-state actors. The thesis about the existence of the phenomenon of a "normative crisis" of the award system has been substantiated.Discussion and conclusion. The necessity of doctrinal development of international award law as a sub-discipline of international law has been substantiated. Four principles of lawful award diplomacy are proposed: the principle of statutory compliance, the principle of non-legitimation, the principle of proportionality, the principle of procedural regularity. Recommendations for improving the legal regulation of awarding foreign citizens have been formulated.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>наградная дипломатия</kwd><kwd>глава государства</kwd><kwd>государственные награды</kwd><kwd>награды СССР</kwd><kwd>принцип невмешательства</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>award diplomacy</kwd><kwd>head of state</kwd><kwd>state awards</kwd><kwd>state awards of the USSR</kwd><kwd>non-intervention principle</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Винокуров В.А.
