Book Description

Continuing the AIDP’s tradition in examining how to improve the protection of the environment through criminal law, this volume addresses various challenges and scientific concerns in relation to environmental crime. It touches upon a range of topics, from biodiversity to corporate criminal liability to jurisdictional or prosecutorial problems, and explores multiple national and regional enforcement systems, drawing from best practices. It brings together key proceedings of the Second AIDP World Conference on the Protection of the Environment through Criminal Law (Bucharest, May 18-20, 2016) organised by the International Association of Penal Law (AIDP) in collaboration with the Romanian Association of Penal Sciences, the Legal Research Institute of the Romanian Academy of Sciences and the Ecological University of Bucharest.

Book Description

The drive for harmonisation of environmental criminal standards at both the international and European level emerges from the increasing recognition of the scale and seriousness of environmental crime, the need to strengthen mechanisms of police and judicial interstate cooperation to combat cross-border crime, and the objective to ensure fair competition in a global economy and an integrated EU common market. The harmonisation of environmental criminal law requires a competent institutional framework able to convey the need for criminalisation of environmental harm while not overriding national aspirations to sovereignty in criminal matters. The book Environmental Criminal Liability and Enforcement in European and International Law assesses legal, theoretical and practical questions of harmonisation of national environmental criminal law and the mechanisms for cooperation by sovereign states under European and International Law, with a particular emphasis on legislative developments in the European Union, the Council of Europe and other international institutions, assessing the case for an extension of the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court over international environmental crimes.

Book Description

Community environmental law has existed for around 25 years. Today there are over 200 Directives and Regulations in force. However there are numerous cases where there is a failure to properly comply with Community environmental law. The extent of environmental crime clearly shows that something has to be done in order to stop this ever-growing, lucrative, illicit business. Some initiatives at European level have been taken by recurring to criminal law in order to have a better implementation of environmental law. In particular, the Council, in January 2003, decided to adopt a Framework Decision on the protection of the environment through criminal law. It adopted this instrument against the will of the Commission which had proposed instead a proposal for a Directive on the same object. This paper will examine what will be or could be the destiny of these instruments. Finally, in criminal matters, the accident of the Prestige made the European Institutions adopt new proposals in order to tackle the specific problem of ship-source pollution. It will be interesting to see what would/could become of these proposals.

Book Description

Protecting the environment from pollution and other risks is now a central concern for citizens and governments. In recent years criminal law has replaced civil and administrative law at the forefront of environmental protection, because of its deterrent effect. This Convention criminalises pollution that causes or may cause serious damage or injuries. As many pollution incidents cross national borders, the Convention also aims at facilitating their investigation and prosecution at the international level. The Convention supplements the Convention on Civil Liability for Damage Resulting from Activities Dangerous to the Environment (Eruopean treaty series 150, 1993, ISBN 9287123209)

Book Description

"Environmental crime is a growing challenge for policy makers and law enforcers. This is an important and timely study which examines in depth how environmental crime is treated at national level within the European Union and the impact of the 2008 EU Directive on environmental crime on national systems. It will be required reading by anyone concerned with making environmental law more effective." Richard Macrory, Emeritus Professor, University College London The aim of this important new collection is to explore how environmental crime is controlled and environmental criminal law is shaped and implemented within the European Union and its Member States. It examines the legal framework, looking in particular at Directive 2008/99/EC, and the specific competences of the EU in this domain. In addition, it provides a detailed analysis of environmental criminal law in seven Member States, focusing inter alia on the basic legislation, the way in which environmental pollution is criminalised and the main actors in place to enforce environmental criminal law. In so doing, it provides a much needed explanation of the evolution of environmental criminal law in Europe at Union level and how this is implemented in selected Member States.

Book Description

In recent years, criminal law has been placed at the forefront of environmental protection, because of its deterrent effect. By criminalising pollution that causes or may cause serious damage or injuries, the present convention is expected to contribute, above all, to an increasing awareness among potential polluters - enterprises and individual - that such activities should in no way be seen as minor violations of the law. The Convention is also aimed at facilitating investigation and prosecution at international level.
