Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The issues of the use of Arctic mineral resources are of interest to both Arctic States and States that do not have direct access to the Arctic region, but are interested due to strategic circumstances in carrying out activities in the Arctic region. Recently, a number of states have adopted or updated their Arctic strategy in connection with the rapidly changing international agenda and in order to adapt existing documents to geopolitical realities. These documents are based on relations related to the protection of the environment, climate, sustainable development, protection of biodiversity, technology exchange and improvement of legal regulatory mechanisms, development of transport and logistics routes, protection of small and indigenous peoples, ensuring national security. In this regard, the author examines and analyzes the key normative and doctrinal sources regulating legal relations in the field of the use of Arctic energy resources in the Arctic, arising between states both at the national and international levels.
