Environmental Protection in the Event of Armed Conflict
Environmental Protection in the Event of Armed Conflict

Summary/Abstract: The present article explores a topical area of the relationship between the environment, the rights of the future generations to enjoy a clean, healthy and safe environment, unaffected by wars, as well as the right of future generations to live in a world free of terror, poverty and insecurity. There are some international regulations regarding the relationship between the environment and military technologies or those technologies used for hostile purposes,but they need to be improved and correlated with the recent developments related to the obligations of states in terms of sustainable development and environmental protection. The environment should be protected not only in relation to the right of peoples and states to development but also in relation to the military conflicts and any type of crises that entail destructive technologies. We consider it as an area of major interest in which, starting from the definition of the “environment manipulated for military purposes”, it is possible to develop studies on comparative law and security related to this legal relationship.
