Abstract

The basis of the formation of international environmental law is based on soft law. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the influence of the 1972 Stockholm Declaration on the process of teaching and institutionalization of the principles and concepts governing the environment by documentary method and as a descriptive-analytical research. The United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, as the first major conference on international environmental issues, stems from the rapid growth of global awareness of the international environment in the 1960s. Given the fact that the final document of this conference is in the category of non-binding documents, it is questionable whether this statement was valid in the process of education and the institutionalization of environmental rights. In this regard, due to the necessity of explaining more non-binding documents in international environmental law, it was attempted to study the documents and resources affected by the statement. Studies have shown that this statement, as a milestone in the process of education and development of environmental rights, recognizes the right to a healthy environment, has drawn close attention to the environment and fundamental human rights, and proposes the formation of international institutions , Such as UNEP and the Global Environment Facility, have integrated the process of global cooperation in the field of structural development and education of environmental rights, and by collecting common principles and concepts in a non-binding legal text, it's manifestation and ratification in the next binding documents Has provided.
