The Environmental Crime

The offence of environmental crime consists of committing an act that violates an environmental law or regulation, thereby placing the environment in serious danger. The protection of the natural environment is essential, since waiting for tangible harm to occur is unreasonable. Restoring a damaged natural system is extremely difficult; therefore, criminal protection is triggered before the damage becomes evident. Moreover, the effects of such harm may be imperceptible at first or may manifest only after a considerable period of time.

Relationship between Conduct and Result

How can a result that materialises over time be linked to a specific act? The legal approach is based on the inherent danger of the conduct, rather than on whether the harm is the direct consequence of the action. It is the responsibility of the judge to assess whether a particular act is suitable, adequate, or capable of creating a prohibited risk.
