The culture of every nation is made up of values and beliefs that determine the identity of people, which undergo changes and transformations and sometimes attack during the process of globalization. Paying attention to the consequences and dangers of cultural invasion can have an all-round and extensive effect on various dimensions of political, cultural and economic rule and affect the rule in the territory. The present descriptive-analytical research seeks to understand the concept of cultural invasion and its various examples from the perspective of international law. This research shows that although it cannot be claimed that cultural affairs remain exclusively within the national jurisdiction, propaganda and cultural genocide are the most important examples of cultural aggression, and international law provides various tools such as self-help, legitimate defense, and cultural sanctions for the government under attack. By using the general standards of international responsibility, where the cultural invasion is contrary to international legal rules, the responsibility of the violators can be demanded.
