THE REPUBLIC OF LATVIA WITHIN THE DIMENSIONAL FRAMEWORK OF INTERNATIONAL LEGAL SUBJECT
In operations of public administration, and especially law enforcement agencies, a particular understanding of the definition of national territory is necessary, especially having in mind the various sovereignty differentiation of national territory into sea areas and airspace, resulting from the modern international and European Union law and which would not be contrary to Article 3 of the Constitution generally determining the meaning of the Latvian State territory. Sometimes the national territory is understood as land or water surface. But setting national borders and border treaties and the national regulatory framework of the state border concept, states include the concept of national borders within their jurisdiction spread in space – technical capabilities of land and deep-water in depth and in airspace to the space limit. The main purpose of the research was to analyse the Latvian national framework of legal subject or international and national regulatory frameworks of territory and to offer a clearer and more comprehensive definition of the national territory. The author developed the dimensional framework definition of national territory in the result of research that would be necessary in the national regulatory framework in the context of national security and not in conflict with the international regulatory framework.
