SYSTEM OF ENVIRONMENTAL TOLENS IN MODERN CRIMINAL LAW

Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the complex system of ecological offenses within the framework of modern criminal law, with a specific focus on the legislation of the Republic of Serbia and relevant international standards. In the context of rapid technical and technological progress, which, alongside benefits, brings serious risks to nature, environmental protection has become a fundamental condition for the survival of the human community. The paper explores the evolution of legal protection from the first international initiatives under the auspices of the UN to the modern instruments of the Council of Europe and the European Union, focusing particularly on the 1998 Convention on the Protection of the Environment through Criminal Law. The tripartite division of ecological offenses into criminal acts, economic offenses, and misdemeanors is examined in detail, as well as the application of key principles such as sustainable development, precaution, and the "polluter pays" principle.
