Abstract
International liability incurred in the event of environmental pollution in general , and the marine environment in particular , is an important issue in international law , imposed due to the rapid developments experienced by the international community . Therefore , imposing it in this area is necessary to preserve the environment and ensure its continued survival and safety for future generations . Therefore , all countries must protect the environment in all its details . Therefore , our research will focus on the application of international liability to countries that work to violate the rights to protect it , because the effects of environmental violation of all kinds are transnational effects , and this requires intensified efforts by countries to confront these effects . This research will be addressed according to the descriptive approach by explaining marine pollution and the relationship of this type of pollution to international responsibility, and the analytical approach by explaining that combating marine pollution is one of the obligations and duties that fall on all countries, considering that this pollution does not affect a particular country as it is transnational. In addition, preserving the marine environment is one of the basic human rights that must be preserved.
