Abstract
The efforts of the BRICs countries to establish a fair international legal order determine the scholarly interest in conceptualizing the legal position on the inadmissibility of the use of unlawful unilateral coercive measures in international relations. This paper adopts an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the phenomenon of combating discriminatory sanctions policies of individual states and international organizations, including elements of economic, legal and international legal analysis. The subject of the authors’ interest is not the methodology of “economic analysis” of legal phenomena, which is recognized in legal science; rather, it is an attempt to synthesize the methods of various disciplines, allowing a comprehensive assessment of the possibility of countering “sanctions threats” to the state sovereignty of Russia as one of the members of BRICS. The main directions of the economic policy of the state in the conditions of the “sanctions regime,” the features of acts of Russian legislation aimed at protecting sovereignty from illegal unilateral restrictive measures, in the historical context, and taking into account modern views, the doctrinal approaches to the concept of “sanctions” in the science and practice of international law are all analyzed. As a result, it is found that the pluralism of approaches to the definition of “sanctions” is maintained, which is explained by the insufficient level of international legal regulation of international coercion and the continuing decentralization of the system of international law. The grounds for the legitimacy of sanctions mechanisms operate in the system of collective security of the U.N., based on the analysis of the provisions of the U.N. Charter and the normative array of recommendatory norms of the U.N. General Assembly. The evolution of the mechanism of non-military coercive measures of the U.N. Security Council is analyzed, and the parameters of the legitimacy of sanctions by regional international organizations on the basis of the provisions of the U.N. Charter are determined. Normative contours of “soft regulators” of counteractions to illegitimate unilateral coercive measures are established.

Summary
An important place in the contemporary international agenda is the activities of BRICS – the international association of countries that have, in the terminology of the experts of the World Bank, the largest and fastest-growing emerging markets. Despite the fact that BRICS includes only five states (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), their economic potential gives analysts a reason to predict the transformation of this inter-state union into the largest global trade bloc by the middle of the 21st century. The coalition of the abovementioned organizations plans to further develop software and analytical systems to assess the consequences of government management decisions taken during inter-country economic wars, and their use in the system of distributed situation centers of Russia, created in accordance with the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of 25 July 2013 No 648 In this regard, the priority should be the further development of the existing system of distributed situation centers of public authorities and local selfgovernment, modernization of their functional and technological basis as the most effective tool for coordinating strategic planning and improving the efficiency of public administration, and monitoring the progress of national goals and the implementation of national projects.
