Entsar F. Kh. Constitutional and administrative protection of the environment from pollution

Abstract

Based on the constitutional principle contained in most constitutions of the world on the
human right to live in a clean and sound environment, the protection of the environment from
pollution has become a goal of all countries in their domestic legislation through the adoption of
texts and sanctions deterrent to protect the environment from any pollution and no longer This
protection is limited to the rules of internal law, but has become a target sought by the rules of
international law and to link this protection of the basic human rights sought by the rules of
international humanitarian law, especially as our societies are witnessing technological progress in
all areas of life, Led to this development is accompanied by a contaminated environment portends
risks of dire consequences on human health and the prosperity and progress of society.
But the interesting thing in our time is that modern man builds on the one hand and destroys in
terms of not feeling on the other hand, making machinery and advanced equipment and erecting
giant factories, while at the same time deleting years from the agenda of his life and bringing his
end to his hand while dreaming of more life and rest And this is the basis for the protection of the
environment is a matter of life or death, which necessitated the need for legal means to ensure the
protection of the environment from pollution, and this is discussed in our research through the
study and analysis of legal texts on the protection of the environment through the approved by the
Iraqi Constitution of 2005 in force and Law of the improvement of the Iraqi environment No. (27)
for the year 2009 in force, and other legal legislation that dealt with the subject above.
