الملخص EN

Human pollutants increased in our beautiful natural environment as a result of industrial development, and other reasons that have contributed in changing the value of the environment.

After it was a source of comfort, relaxation and enjoying its beautiful natural resources, the environment became a source of epidemics and diseases, because it's natural components; i.e., water, air and soil, were spoiled.

Realizing these risks, in the purview of its regional sovereignty, each state promulgated legislations and laws for protecting the environment and controlling pollution and supported these legislations with criminal sanctions that enforce people to respect such legislations.

The environmental legislations included criminal penalties in the form of punishments against the criminals committing environmental crimes.

The purpose of environmental criminal punishment is to achieve the public and private determents by deterring the violator, removing the aftermaths of the environmental contraventions, and returning to the previous state before committing the environmental crime.

The present study was divided into three sections.

The first section deals with basic punishments, such as physical punishments, detentive penalties and financial punishments.

The second section shows the complementary punishments, such as confiscation, judgment release, and closing the establishment.

In the third section, we tackled with the reasons of aggravation of punishment representing recidivism, disobedience of sentences, and type of committed environmental crime.

Finally, the study showed several results and recommendations.
