AB The article is dedicated to the problem of the protection of the environment on occupiedterritories. Due to the fact that the law of occupation doesn’t contain legal rules establishingenvironmental obligations of the occupying power, the environment on the territories under itsauthority often becomes a victim of the overexploitation and destruction. At the same time, it issuggested that the current international law, in particular, international human rights law and internationalenvironmental law, can be used to fill gaps in the rules of international humanitarianlaw. Certainly, the scope and the content of occupier’s obligations will be different dependingon the instruments applied for the protection of the environment. The author concludes that theoccupying state may be bound by its own multilateral environmental agreements, multilateralenvironmental agreements of the state which territory is occupied or both groups of treaties. Acase-by-case approach to environmental human rights protection can serve as a useful tool forthe concretization of occupier’s environmental obligations.
