International humanitarian law and climate change


International humanitarian law, an introduction The continuous deterioration in the natural environment,  since the beginning of the seventies of the last century, has led to a general awareness of the seriousness of the aggression perpetrated by man against nature, especially during the period of armed conflicts, and the resulting pollution of the environment, and all its resources, which directly threatens human existence. 
The international interest in protecting the environment has been reflected. 
In issuing many declarations, and international resolutions, including the Declaration of Progress and Development in the Social Field in, 1969, the Stockholm Declaration in 1972, the World Charter for Nature in 1982, the Rio de Janeiro Conference and, its Declaration in, 1992, and the Kyoto Protocol in, 1997, on the commitment of, international countries to international standards Specific emissions of greenhouse gases, that cause climate change, and many, others, and these agreements, and protocols were all aimed at protecting the environment, protecting public health and social welfare, and encouraging sustainable development of vital resources, taking into account the right of future generations, preserving biodiversity, and protecting areas where Environmentally damaged.
 The international interest in the issue of the environment has increased due to the multiplication of the risks and damages of environmental issues to all countries of the world, so that it is difficult to address them individually by countries as a result of the limited capabilities, which requires the concerted efforts of all global efforts to confront the danger to the environment and work to overcome its destructive effects. 
The international community, and its transformation from a former system of states to a now solidarity and cooperating international community, has increased its interest in issues, that threaten all humanity, foremost of which are the issues of the environment, terrorism, international crime and others.(1)

Instead of lush, wet and dense landscapes.
