International Legal Aspect of Sustainable Development on Overcoming the Imbalance of Opportunities Between Poor and Rich Regions: From Goals to Their Implementation

The article examines the problem of sustainable development. Its purpose is to show the role of the international legal framework, which serves as a motivating and stimulating factor for the activity of political institutions and political structures operating at different levels (from global to regional and local) in order to overcome poverty and equalize opportunities for sustainable development between poor and rich regions. The article reveals the features of international legal documents aimed at overcoming the imbalance of opportunities between poor and rich regions in the field of sustainable development. The author traced the ways of preventing and counteracting the legalization (laundering) of proceeds from crime, both by developed countries of Europe and by the national legislation of Ukraine, and prospective trends were studied. The author showed a new technology that allows for effective control and prevention of money laundering obtained by criminal means. The focus of the article is on considering the interaction of the UN with developing countries in the contexts of combating climate change, overcoming poverty. Using the example of Zambia, the author showed the typical problems of countries that have found themselves in difficult conditions due to climate change. Moreover, he focused on their specific activities to counter this negative phenomenon. The author also studied the role of UN structures that provide methodological and other assistance to developing countries in such issues as planning measures to combat climate change, monitoring the contributions of these countries, etc.The article cites the cases of Vietnam and Rwanda to show how poverty can be successfully overcome in a country. The study showed the obvious correlation of conflict and the lack of opportunities for any country to improve the standard of living - to increase the level of material wealth of the population, overcome poverty, reduce the gap between rich and poor, etc. The decisive factor in overcoming poverty and inequality of opportunities for sustainable development between poor and rich regions is the personal factor, the organizational ability of the ruling coalition, or the political force controlling the power in the country, to concentrate both internal resources for this purpose and, based on international trust, to attract international organizations.
