Environmental protection during armed conflict
Authors

Abstract
Protection of
environment is a matter of concern not only for individuals but for the states
also. In the present era of climate change, the human environment is at stake.
The whole world has become deeply conscious of its impending consequences. But
the position during wars or armed conflicts among countries posits a different
challenge. There are plethora of Treaties, Conventions, Protocols etc. which
talks about environmental protection during wars. However, the factual position
is otherwise. Recently, use of chemical weapons including deadly gases in Syria
is a burning example. Now, the time has come to form a body like International
Court of Justice and International Criminal Court to try and punish the
perpetrators of crime against environment including armed conflicts. Otherwise
in absence of effective regulators, all such International instruments will be
of no avail.
