Abstract
The article is devoted to analyzing the foundations underlying the formulation of environmental security, the environmental principles enshrined in international documents, and the shaping of environmental protection and sustainable development processes, drawing upon the national environmental interests of the Republic of Armenia.
The study analyzes the article of the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia dedicated to environmental protection, as well as the country’s environmental legislation, which define the concept of environmental security, address current issues concerning environmental disasters, and outline the primary directions for their prevention.
Based on objective characteristics, the study examines the development and implementation of environmental interests by the state, the foundations of human environmental rights derived from established international environmental principles, and also explores other theoretical and legal issues related to them.
As a result of the conducted analysis, a definition of the institutional-legal and political aspects of national environmental interests is provided, characterizing them as the targeted activity of state bodies and other institutional structures aimed at regulating the relations between society and nature.
Furthermore, the definition of the state’s environmental interest is interpreted and enshrined as a system of legal mechanisms ensuring state environmental security. Finally, the article analyzes natural sovereignty as an imperative for regulating legal processes during the protection of environmental security, along with the regulatory frameworks governing liability for environmental offenses.
