Currently the world community is faced with the need to solve new global problems caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which served as the basis not only for a public health emergency, but also as the basis for the imposition of emergencies by many states. The problem of combating the pandemic has acquired a global character, which means that efforts of all states are needed to solve it. The purpose of the article is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the international foundations of legal regulation of countering the spread of the pandemic. In the scientific article, the author analyzes international acts aimed at countering the pandemic and draws attention to the fact that most of the international agreements of the Republic of Belarus with border states were concluded before the collision with the global challenges of a pandemic nature, and therefore require revision and additions.
