Criminal Sanctions Arising From Environmental Damage Offences
Authors : Lemmiez Amina .
Abstract
Abstract: The protection of the environment within the framework of criminal law has become imperative, given the specific nature that distinguishes environmental offences. These offences are characterised by a high degree of technical and scientific complexity. They are often committed by individuals who possess advanced scientific and professional training, which enables them to evade punishment and conceal the features and consequences of their crimes. It has therefore become essential to keep pace with this technical and technological dynamism in the field of environmental criminality. This challenge has been addressed through the promulgation of specialised environmental protection legislation, which criminalises environmental violations and punishes their perpetrators, reinforcing these provisions with criminal sanctions proportionate to the gravity of the offenses committed. These sanctions take various forms and may constitute principal or ancillary penalties applied to both natural and legal persons alike in cases of noncompliance with the statutory provisions governing environmental protection.
