The article aims to examine the specific features of the protection of performers’ moral rights in the context of the legislation of the Republic of Armenia and international legal instruments, considering the ways these rights are implemented and the current challenges they face. The relevance of the research lies in the fact that the recognition of performers’ moral rights at the international level remains a relatively recent phenomenon, and their application varies depending on the legal system in question. Within the scope of the research, questions have been addressed regarding how to balance the right of attribution with the practical challenges of performance reproduction. In this regard, attention is drawn to situations where it is practically impossible to indicate the names of all performers at the time of the performance. Simultaneously, the study analyzes the particularities of defining the right of integrity within the framework of international treaties, specifically in the context of the provisions of the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT) and the Beijing Treaty on Audiovisual Performances. The article argues that the Armenian legal system should adopt an integrated approach that incorporates the terminology and conceptual framework set forth in the above mentioned international instruments. Ultimately, the article concludes that, in addition to the rights of attribution and integrity performers should also be granted the rights to disclose and withdraw their performances.
