Assessment of the Significance of International Treatiesin the Sphere of Russiaʼs Economic Cooperation:Risks and Opportunities Under Sanctions

The article examines the problem of assessing, from a legal perspective, the significance of international treaties in the sphere of economic development for Russia under current conditions. For the purposes of the study, the scope of international treaties under consideration is limited to multilateral agreements (treaties, recommendations, etc.) adopted within the framework of the United Nations and 27 related international organisations. Out of 225 international treaties selected for evaluation using the methodology described in the article, 58 were deemed significant. These treaties are grouped into blocks based on the similarity of the relations they regulate (investment protection, tax administrative cooperation, etc.) and selected for subsequent detailed analysis and the formulation of recommendations for Russian authorities on measures to improve domestic legal regulation and develop international legal instruments aimed at furthering economic cooperation with friendly countries.
