International responsibility of governments for environmental violations

One of the tools through which the environment can be protected internationally is to create accountability for governments. Under international liability law, a country to which an act or omission is contrary to international law and regulation must compensate the country or countries affected by it, in effect a breach of any obligation under international law. A noteworthy point about international environmental law is its various dimensions and elements and the breadth of its issues, especially that part of environmental issues that is of a "cross-border" nature, such as border pollution and the destruction of the international environment. Today, world leaders are increasingly shifting environmental issues from the margins to the political agenda. Researchers in international law, on the other hand, have established rules regarding the responsibilities and obligations of governments, especially in responding to border demolition and pollution. On the other hand, the establishment of the International Criminal Court can be considered as one of the significant international measures in the criminal protection of non-overt environmental protection, but despite the fact that the issue of international responsibility has found a significant place in international law. In international environmental law and compensation in this area, the issue of international responsibility remains brief and vague, although in recent years its development has been better than before. The present article has investigated the criminal responsibility of governments in the field of environment using descriptive-analytical method and library and electronic resources.
