Summary/Abstract: THE SERIOUS DAMAGE CAUSED TO THE ENVIRONMENT NO LONGER REPRESENTS ONLY A MATTER OF NATIONAL CONCERN, WITHIN THE DISCRETION OF EACH COUNTRY, AS IN THE CASE OF ECOLOGICAL CATASTROPES WITH SEVERE REPERCURSIONS TO LIFE GOING ON IN NORMAL CONDITIONS, WITH MULTIPLE CASUALTIES OR SIMPLY AFFECTING LARGE AREAS OF THE PLANET. CONSEQUENTLY, THE ROLE OF THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW SHOULD BE ENHANCED IN PUNISHING THE GUILTY ONES AND IN TAKING OTHER NECESSARY MEASURES FOR THE PROTECTION OF NATURE AND THE PRESERVATION OF A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT FOR THE PEOPLE AND THE OTHER BEINGS.
