Legal Protection of Russia’s National Interests in a World Order Undergoing Transformation
Congress Centre, conference hall D1
Broadcast
Major changes are taking place in political, economic, and legal relations between states. A new model of the multipolar world is being formed, and the shape it eventually takes depends on all participants in international politics. Russia consistently defends its sovereignty, its spiritual and moral values, a fair and just world order, and the basic principles of international law, calling for representatives of different cultures and traditions to engage in a productive dialogue. Russia has well-defined national interests and development goals, the protection and achievement of which must be ensured by law. What legal mechanisms can be used for this purpose? How, in the current geopolitical climate, can we use the law and the potential of the law enforcement system to counter new global threats and challenges? And how can we ensure that the needs of the individual, society, and state in terms of safe and sustainable development are met?
