The Precautionary Principle As A Fundamental Pillar For Achieving Sustainable Development Under Environmental Legislation – The Algerian Legislation As A Model
Authors : Anteur Asma .
Abstract
The concept of sustainable development is among the most important topics that have occupied those interested in modern developmental thought, especially when compared to the evolution of development over recent decades. The concept of sustainable development emerged within the framework of the United Nations in an attempt to reconcile the different viewpoints of developed and developing countries regarding the importance to be given to the environmental aspect. The first use of the term "sustainable development" came from activists in a non-governmental organization in 1980, called World Wildlife, and its Arabic translation includes several terms such as: "development that can be sustained." Sustainable development is based on a set of principles and pillars that guide its strategy, with the most important of these being: • The Principle of Participation, • The Principle of Inclusion, • The Polluter Pays Principle, • The Precautionary Principle (Le principe de précaution). The latter is a preventive principle among the 27 principles outlined in the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, which was held in Brazil in 1992 and is commonly known as the "Earth Summit." This study aims to cover as many aspects as possible regarding the application of the precautionary principle in the environmental field, especially considering the unique nature of the environment. Additionally, the close relationship between the environment and sustainable development cannot be overlooked, as it is impossible to talk about the sustainable development of a country without considering the environmental aspect and ensuring it is not harmed—this is the approach adopted by most Arab legislations.
