THE EDUCATIONAL ROLE OF PENALTIES APPLIED TO ACTS WHICH HARM THE ENVIRONMENT

Summary/Abstract: “The permanent degradation of the natural environment generates highly complex problems, which are manifested by the lack of harmony between man-made environment and the requirements of a normal life, which leads not only to the destruction of the ecological balance, but also to a reverse reaction, the environment no longer being beneficial for the development of social activities and human health, which no longer has a discretionary behaviour towards nature. Practices in the field have shown that the best strategy for environmental protection lies in educating people in the prevention of pollution and environmental damages of any kind, than to try to remedy the effects of postfactum. Along with traditional means of popularizing environmental requirements and of educating the population in terms of defending these social values, an important role in the prevention of harmful acts is also represented by the penalties applied in cases of violation of regulations in the field, provided that the liability be prompt and proportional to the damages caused, which would confer a greater educational role the matter”.
