Environmental Law

In order to understand the ontological nature of Environmental Law we must start by defining Environment. If Environment constitutes a specific object, different from all other objects, the existence of a new legal system is justified, whenever it cannot be in one of the existing “branches” of Law. In a systematic approach, Environment is… EVERYTHING. It is the Biosphere as a whole, as an integrated system, A GLOBAL SYSTEM, or “ecosystem”, because it is an “Ecological System.” This specific object, absolutely singular, is not regulated by any of the so-called branches of Law, all of which regulate very specific sectors of human activity, by methodological reasons of analysis. Even “International Law” which has the purpose of regulating the whole world, acts as an “interstitial” set of rules that relates national States. Each branch of law could be compared with a segment of an orange. Which is the “branch of law” that takes care of the whole orange? Of course there is no “branch” at all, because the “branches” regulate only specific sectors of human activity.

Environmental law, in its criminal aspect puts all the emphasis on prevention. What is fundamental is to avoid the damage. Once both premises, which are protection and prevention, are accepted, we face a third one: The global ecosystem or biosphere, being a universal indivisible whole, its protection can be ensured only on a global scale, with the cooperation of everybody, and, of course – in this world- of every State and political body. The criminal character of environmental law, then, is imbibed with an international cha!

· It has a set of characteristics that we are going to mention further on.

5. It is a Public Order Law: This characteristic does not require too many comments, because it is obvious and self-explanatory. By its object, it is evidently a normative system that escapes completely the private domain. Private and even public persons in general cannot decide on any environmental norm if there is no previous authorization from competent authorities. An example will shed light on this concept: a landowner should not have the right to allow hunting on his land, unless within the legally established conditions, respecting the close of seas
