What is Environmental Law

The need to protect and prevent the destruction and pollution of the environment is recognized by all governments and individuals. The possibility of litigation and litigation against harmful actions for the environment is one of the guarantees of effective implementation, which should be given more attention by the governments and regulatory mechanisms of the region and internationally, and the possibility of litigation based on benefits. Public courts or competent regional authorities, including the European Court of Human Rights, the American Court of Human Rights, and the African Court of Human and Peoples' Rights, appear to be an effective step in protecting the environment and respecting fundamental human rights. The chapter examines the procedure of the regional courts of human rights and the domestic courts in some countries regarding the possibility of public litigation.
