Abstract

International conflicts related to environment disrespect have begun recently. Among the forms to solve international environmental conflicts there is ecological intervention and international jurisdiction, which end up affecting the sovereignty principle of the States. However, globalization and the increasing interdependency of the States do not allow the ancient conception of absolute sovereignty. Thus, it is essential to have international cooperation and recognition that the environment is a common asset of the humanity and that it must be preserved by all men, regardless of the State they live in.
