Abstract
The environment is more vulnerable to damage than any other area. Human beings of all ages and situations— childhood and old age, poverty and wealth, peace and happiness, and conflict and sorrow—can cause damage to the environment. However, most of the damage is done by governments with their wrong policies, and increased individual damages are also due to those policies. Therefore, the environment should be protected by the judiciary and arbitration. In case of intentional damage or negligence, the perpetrators will be dealt with legally, and the ways of compensation will be determined. This chapter describes domestic and international legal authorities related to the environment and can influence it with their decisions and actions.
