THE SPECIFICITY OF ENVIRONMENTAL CRIMINALIZATION IN NATIONAL LEGISLATION AND INTERNATIONAL LAW

Main Article Content

FARID RAHAM

Abstract

Environmental criminalization in national and international law reflects the growing recognition of environmental protection as a legal priority. National legislation varies in defining environmental crimes, penalties, and enforcement mechanisms, often influenced by economic and political factors. International law, through treaties and conventions, establishes broader frameworks for cooperation and accountability, yet enforcement remains challenging due to sovereignty concerns. The specificity of environmental criminalization lies in balancing strict legal measures with sustainable development goals, ensuring both deterrence and compliance. Strengthening legal frameworks and international cooperation is essential to address transboundary environmental crimes effectively.
