Damages Caused by Oil Pollution to the Environment from the Perspective of Environmental Rights and Ethics

Background: In order to protect the environment, humans are required to comply with environmental ethics, as set forth in environmental laws. Unfortunately, oil pollution has had many negative impacts on the Earth's environment in recent years, so various countries have been examining and deciding on new environmental laws over many years. Many decisions overlap with international law and have become part of international law over time, and many decisions and decisions have not had a positive impact due to structural and legal weaknesses. In this article, we examine the case of oil pollution in Iranian domestic law and its compliance with environmental and legal doctrines. Conclusion: Judges in Iranian courts are required to deal with disputes under domestic law that derives from jurisprudential and ethical principles, as well as international conventions under which the principles of the constitution and the provisions of ordinary law are in conformity with the law. Unfortunately, according to the opinion of the Iranian courts, it is concluded that the public opinion has not respected the principles of environmental rights as well as the principles of environmental ethics but has an impact on the development of environmental norms of pollution prevention and compensation.
