Background: Increasing environmental crises in recent centuries have endangered human lives and creatures on Earth, and these crises are increasingly widespread and can lead to irreparable events across the globe. So, though, chocolate needs a little self-care and a constructive and ethical interaction with the environment to preserve it. The attention to environmental ethics began around the world in the 1970s, which is undoubtedly due to the development of technology, industry, economic growth and population growth and their impact on the environment. Undoubtedly, the most fundamental way to protect the environment and comply with the environmental ethics is the cooperation of governments in this field. Therefore, the present study has attempted to analyze and evaluate governments' commitment to marine environmental pollution with emphasis on the teachings of environmental ethics and the Convention on the Law of the Sea.
Conclusion: Governments' commitments to marine environmental pollution and compliance with the principles of environmental ethics, in particular States Parties to the Convention on the Rights of the Sea, are in line with the three main tasks of preventing, reducing and controlling pollution. The Convention on the Law of the Sea defines the obligations of governments to include co-operation, technical assistance, supervision, legislation, enforcement and guarantee. Governments, of course, should not, for the sake of economic benefit, provide the government with an interpretation that is contrary to the principles of international law and the principles of environmental ethics and at the expense of environmental damage. Thus, throughout the history of international law, the principle of the obligation of governments to prevent transboundary pollution resulting from their economic activities has been recognized in international documents and opinions and can now be said to be the norm |
