Abstract

Environmental pollution is one of the most important problems facing the environment, which affects human beings directly, as it affects their health, body and money, what has increased the difficulty of this problem is the lack of attention to it by the concerned authorities, as this aspect was neglected and there were no real treatments for it, despite the enactment of legislation for environmental protection and the imposition of penalties and fines on those who cause environmental pollution, but there is no follow-up by the authorities concerned with this matter and there is no control, so the laws remain suspended In this aspect, it has not been activated, and in this case, the problem of environmental pollution remains without real treatments and the problems it misleads in the health, economic and social aspects. The research concluded with several results, namely that the participation of the administrative authorities of the judiciary in the assessment of compensation for environmental damage this would restrict the role of the judiciary in this area and away from objectivity and impartiality, in most cases pollution is issued by one of the institutions affiliated with the administrative authorities. As for the recommendations, the judiciary must consider all types of compensation resulting from environmental damage and not give the administrative authorities authority in this area except for their powers in control, guidance and supervision
