Legal cooperation of states in the field of social security in order to achieve the UN SDGs

The article examines some areas and forms of cooperation between states in the legal sphere of regulating relations in the field of social security and social protection. Considering the implementation by states of comprehensive social policy measures aimed at achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, we can talk about the presence of common vectors and general trends both at the international and regional levels to improve the level of social protection. The most urgent is the adoption of measures, mainly legal, to ensure that all states provide minimum standards of social security to ensure a decent standard of living and quality of life. Issues of international legal cooperation in the regulation of social security are considered in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals, as well as in relation to the standards and norms established at the UN and ILO levels. Proposals have been formulated for taking legal measures to improve the efficiency of social security regulation at the national and international levels.
