Aristov E.V. Conceptual approaches towards the understanding and perception of poverty from the perspective of international law

Abstract: The subject of this research is the study of the fight against poverty on the international level from the perspective of the norms of international law. The author examines such aspects of the topic as state of poverty, and approaches towards solution to the issue of poverty from perspective of protection of human rights. A special attention is given to the international obligations of national branches of public authority, as well as global international and regional international organizations consisting of states. The object of the research is the acknowledgement by states of the necessity to protect and promote provision of human rights. Among the main conclusions of the conducted research is the need to impose obligations through the norms of international law to take measures towards preventing poverty. The author’s contribution into the research is the analysis of international instruments in the area of human rights pertaining to poverty. The scientific novelty consists in discovering the lack of direct guarantees of freedom from poverty within the norms of international law.
