Legal Frameworks For Facing Environmental Pollution Crimes: A Comparative Study Of Jordanian Legislation And International Agreements
Abstract
The environment from a legal perspective is the natural framework that accommodates humans, animals, plants, and natural factors to preserve these organisms through a process of balance between them. Environmental pollution, originating from various sources, presents a pressing global concern with significant ramifications for ecological systems, public health, and social well-being. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of how legal frameworks at the internal and external of levels address the multifaceted problem of environmental pollution. This study holds significance in a world increasingly affected by environmental degradation. By examining the legal dimensions of the problem and exploring solutions within the framework of domestic legislation and international cooperation, this research contributes to the broader efforts aimed at addressing and mitigating environmental pollution. findings from this research are provide valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of existing legal frameworks for environmental pollution. The discussion of findings will address the practical implications for policymakers, legal professionals, and environmental organizations.
