Resumo


Background: The increase of quantity and scale of destroying geophysical events on the Earth goes to the problem of population and economic safety that require common coordination of protective efforts of different states. Objective: The objective of this work was to predict the main political and legal risks on the natural path of progress in the field of protection against natural disasters, global management of the fight against disasters, carried out in the context of the development of technologies for influencing dangerous natural processes. Methods: In this context we should take in consideration a long-term global company – the UN International strategy of disasters risk reduction and also convocation of regular world forums in its course. Results: According to the actual overall result, the strategy without having authorized institutes and legal obligatory decisions has not brought the expected results for many years of its realization. Conclusion: In order for the future construction to be more fully in line with the national interest, a political plan is needed to develop a new area of international relations and prepare measures to influence the construction of normative and institutional framework. Consideration of the taken little-studied aspect of the emergency problem should contribute to an objective assessment of the critical situation in the global sphere of combating a steadily growing, universal, and inevitable threat and, thereby, to accelerate the creation of a legally guaranteed institutional base for global disaster risk management driven by social necessity and geodynamics.
