Abstract
The paper analyzes international treaties related to the activities of states in the Arctic regions. These treaties constitute the legal basis for scientific cooperation. Due to the threat of climate change and global warming, the preservation of the Arctic ecosystem is becoming one of the urgent tasks for global scientific community. Russia, with its vast Arctic territories, can play a key role in joining the efforts of scientists from different countries. In the modern world, international cooperation is impossible without the established system of international legal treaties. The main instrument of international law for cooperation in the Arctic is the 1982 UN Convention on the Law Of the Sea. The success of scientific events in the Arctic depends on the results of the activities of the Arctic Council and on the effectiveness of activities, including research during the implementation of the Strategy for the Development of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation.

Summary
During the Soviet period, there was qualitative breakthrough in the development of the Arctic. During this period regular scientific research began to be carried out and reliable knowledge was obtained about this inaccessible region of the Earth. It is important to note that by the middle of the 20th century, international customs had developed in the Arctic, which regulated the development of this territory and the procedure for scientific research was established in Russian legislation. Since 1982, a new stage in the development of the legal regime in the Arctic has begun. The Russian Federation confirmed this international treaty on February 6, 1997
