Abstract

Deficiencies of Environmental Regulations on Mine Exploration Law in Iran







Abstract

A legal response to the environmental threats caused by mine exploration cannot be achieved without identification of such special threats. For the same reason, the geological studies of the environmental threats caused by mine exploration are an essential step for such a legal response by codifying appropriate rules and regulations and developing a proper legal system. This article is to, initially, identify and classify the environmental threats caused by mine exploration and then to identify and evaluate legal gaps and challenges in Iranian legal system to deal with such threats, by using the analytical method.

What are the deficiencies of environmental regulations on mine exploration in Iranian legal system and what is the strategy to tackle such deficiencies?

The environmental threats caused by mine exploration is identified in a very general, partial and imperfect manner in Iranian legal system. Missing details and lack of classification of threats in terms of the mine and the practical problems in this area, are some definite challenges in this domain, which in turn have seriously impeded the effective legal response.
