Abstract
With the spread of irreparable crimes, severe, persistent and widespread environmental crimes and the effects that have endangered the very foundations of human life, international law must use its capacity to address the spread of crimes caused by pollution and environmental degradation. Human health, other living organisms, and international peace and security are threatened. Prohibition of interference in their territory is also one of the basic principles of international law, but the principle of sovereignty in international environmental law is not absolute and is conditional on the non-harmful use of land. In international environmental law, there are capabilities to exercise the universal jurisdiction of states against environmental crimes, the most important of which are environmental customs and obligations and the performance of relevant international institutions and organizations in applying customary and treaty principles. And international organizations have been clarified in this regard.
