FOOD SECURITY IN UNRECOGNIZED STATES IN THE CONTEXT OF INTERNATIONAL LAW (THE EXAMPLE OF THE REPUBLIC OF ARTSAKH) (original) (raw)

In the paper, the basic problems of ensuring the food security of the unrecognized states are studied. It is revealed that the food security of the unrecognized or partially recognized states remains a little-studied problem. It is shown that unrecognized states are more exposed to risks and threats to food security because of the low level of subjectivity as well as limited trade and economic ties with the world markets. The issues of food security of the Republic of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh Republic) that arose as a result of a large-scale war with Azerbaijan in 2020 are presented. The main approaches and principles to the definition of the concept of ''food security'' are analyzed, and features of assessing the significance of food security in international law are identified.
