Cross-Border Trade in the Context of Unilateral Economic Measures

Congress Centre, conference hall D1
International Law in the New Reality
Broadcast
Problems associated with legal support for international trade amidst economic restrictions are important due to how quickly relations change in this regard. Key issues that need prompt solutions include legal support for the sustainability of foreign economic activities, the modernization of legal regimes for parallel imports, the organization of logistics processes, optimal customs procedures, the taxation of international trade amidst restrictions, and civil legal instruments, including contractual decisions, the provision of effective legal measures to combat the spread of counterfeit products, and the problem of unifying approaches to the certification and labelling of products. How can we effectively use technological solutions to ensure sustainable foreign economic activities? What prospects exist for creating and operating a consortium for the export of Russian goods, services, and IT solutions to international markets?
