Abstract

Obligation of every individual, every society, and every state is to take care of the district, to his environment where he’s living, his family, his friends, and his companion. If anyone of us cares about conservation, cleanliness and maintenance of the environment, as that care for our shoes, then all will live in a healthy environment. It would be enough, even with raising the voice and awareness for prevention of pollution of the environment in which we live, would give the fruit and its positive effects. Protection of the environment in any modern democratic state is presented as a constitutional category, protected by the highest legal act, i.e. the constitution. All our actions towards environmental pollution, affects in appearance of one of the silent forms of criminality, it is ecological crime. Submission of this form of criminality comes to expression for the reason that, we as a society express a large tolerance and a very soft attitude towards this form of criminality. Therefore, protection of the environment involves everyone. Here is the expression of Hobbes: The war of all against all, because every one of us is potential perpetrator, every one of us is potential victim, as well. In preventing and combating this negative phenomenon in our society, important role can play anyone who felt himself able to do this, starting from the state institutions, and up to the ordinary individual, without any authorization or impact on the society where he lives. For a healthy and clean environment, also much more can contribute states whose possessing weapons of mass destruction, which means giving up from that they possessing. Every armed conflict should be cease fired immediately, in order to support dialogue, because, apart from damage to people and material, very much more desolate environment, is disequilibrating the ecosystem. Wars and armed conflicts represent the main potential for pollution of the    
environment.  We  know that the damages and consequences of environmental pollution who’s coming as a result of various causes, in order to protect these ecological values, without which human life is impossible to imagine, they must be treated as crimes against humanity and international law, solely because of the weight and importance they have for the human life and his environment. With one shot, you can kill one man, but with environment pollution, you can kill all mankind.
