Abstract

In general, the environment is more and more understood and received as a common value of humanity; A value that is the duty of the entire international community to preserve and maintain, and in its applied rules, it deals mostly with the principles related to the common heritage of humanity. The ease of the possibility of severe damage to the natural environment to impose political behavior is considered as a real and current threat against nature. The serious lack of international regulations to criminalize terrorist acts against the environment has caused violations of biological and human security in the national and international environment. Such a gap in the international community can be partially resolved by drafting and approving a new treaty to define and criminalize such actions against the natural environment. Therefore, this article tries to increase the awareness of terrorist crimes against the environment, the lack of an international legal framework to suppress it by proposing an international legal framework in the form of an international convention and the possibility of placing it in the set of international anti-terrorist conventions of the United Nations. provide an alliance
