Abstract

This paper aims to examine the issue of environmental protection in the context of armed conflicts. First and foremost, through the regulation of public international law, while at the same time raising the moral-religious basis of the issue. In the second half of the paper, I will examine the concept of ecocide and its regulatory framework. In particular, with regard to whether the void left by the regulatory gaps and enforcement deficiencies of international law can be filled by ecocide as an emerging legal regime.
