Abstract: (36 Views) |
Background: The current research raises the question of how legislation can create a platform for promoting environmental ethics. There is a body of research on how values or virtue ethics affect legislation, but here researchers aim to determine how legislation affects the values or virtue ethics of the public and how it can be done by adopting different laws and punishing people, especially in the research required legal entities to comply with environmental ethics. For a better understanding, two countries, Iran and America, have been compared in this area.
Conclusion: Criminal liability in the laws of Iran and the United States is based on the ability to attribute criminal behavior to a person, who can be real or legal. In the field of legal entities, the findings of the research show that the punishments considered in Iran's laws cannot be considered as a guarantee of proper implementation for compliance with environmental ethics and prevention of environmental destruction, therefore, it is necessary to revise the relevant laws. On the other hand, in the United States, the punishments considered for not paying attention to environmental ethics were more severe, and the number of monetary crimes, etc., was much higher than in Iran, and also the environmental protection laws in this country were many and varied. It covers almost all aspects and possibilities.
