At present, NATO is facing a severe crisis and has showed symptoms of disintegration and polarization of the relations between its Member States. At the last head meeting of the organization's Council, in December 2019, in London, French President Emmanuel Macron qualified NATO's current crisis as a "brain death." From a legal perspective, the main cause of this alleged "brain death" is the organization's special status under international law. In fact, NATO has constantly violated its constitutive treaty and many other international conventional and customary norms, including ius cogens rules. However, the organization has never assumed any negative legal consequences for its internationally unlawful behavior. This situation has reduced the legitimacy of the institution and has corroded, from the inside and the outside, states' will to cooperate with the fulfilment of its objectives. Thus, NATO could only surmount its current crisis and continue to play a crucial role as a guardian of the international peace and security and as a promoter of the rule of law at the global level, if it accepts to submit its political and military power to international law.

This study aims to explore the multiple concepts of brain death through jurisprudence and medical innovation. The study focuses on understanding the interaction between these concepts and analyzing the challenges and problems they face. To analyze the multiple concepts of brain death and provide a comprehensive and balanced understanding of this issue from different perspectives. And also to know the ethical and legal challenges associated with determining brain death. The study included the jurisprudential, medical, ethical and legal community interested in the topic of brain death. The study followed a multidimensional approach and is guided by the methodology of literature review, comparative analysis, and applied analysis of medical trials. Previous studies and research were reviewed, including jurisprudential, medical, ethical and legal studies. The results showed a significant discrepancy in understanding and application between the jurisprudential concept of death and recent medical developments to address the ethical and legal challenges associated with determining brain death. The recommendations and directions for health and legal policies were to achieve harmony between the jurisprudential, medical and ethical dimensions of the issue of brain death. The research indicates the need for further research and analysis to better understand the interaction between the multiple concepts of brain death and to apply comprehensive and balanced solutions.

Notwithstanding these wise pronouncements, my project here
is to characterize the biological phenomenon of death of the
higher animal species, such as vertebrates. My claim is that
the formulation of "whole-brain death" provides
the most congruent map for our correct understanding of the
concept of death. This essay builds upon the foundation my
colleagues and I have laid since 1981 to characterize the concept
of death and refine when this event occurs. Although our society's
well-accepted program of multiple organ procurement for
transplantation requires the organ donor first to be dead, the
concept of brain death is not merely a social contrivance to
permit us to obtain the benefits of organ procurement. Rather,
the concept of whole-brain death stands independently as the most
accurate biological representation of the demise of the human organism.
