The study was completed by usage of qualitative document analysis with comparative research design based on most-similar-system approach, that helped to demonstrate similarities and differences between the United Nations and the Council of Europe from realist and liberalist perspectives, first coming to realist and liberalist explanations and then comparing them to find out overlaps and differences in the two explanations.
