Abstract

The article points out the importance of the innovative "Belt and Road" project aimed at developing infrastructure and international economic ties. It is indicated that due to the infrastructure’s exposure to high risks of natural and man-made disasters, one of the tasks of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is to provide mutual assistance in preventing emergency situations and eliminating their consequences. It is proposed to use the experience of joint activities of  the Union State of Belarus and Russia, and other international organizations in eliminating the consequences of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident to improve the international mechanism for protecting infrastructure within the framework of the "Belt and Road" project.
