Abstract
The specialized international legal acts regulating the issues of prevention and liquidation of emergency situations in the Arctic region are considered. The study of the above-mentioned legal acts in the international cooperation field indicates the readiness of the Arctic states, parties to relevant international treaties, to jointly confront emergencies and their consequences, regardless of geopolitical and other interests. Normative documents and treaties adopted at the international level set the direction for improving the national legislation of the Arctic states. In this context, all Arctic States have developed their own strategies for the development, use and protection of their Arctic territories. The ongoing changes in international politics necessitate the regulation of the Arctic through new international legal instruments. Scientifically based proposals have been formulated to improve the legal regulation of international cooperation in the emergency prevention and response field in the Arctic on the development and adoption of a new international Convention in the emergency prevention and response field in the Arctic region. The main characteristics and features that the proposed convention must comply with in order to effectively regulate these issues are also indicated. A logical algorithm for the development and coordination of the above-mentioned new international Convention is proposed, taking into account the mutual interests of the Arctic states.
