3.5. Enforcement of Environmental Laws

When it comes to the enforcement of environmental laws, a distinction is first made between those at the World Commonwealth level and those at the World Commonwealth constituent Zonal level.

The law enforcement system at the World Commonwealth level refers to the supervision of environmental law enforcement at the Zonal level by the World Environment Program, a World Commonwealth agency.

The World Environment Programme is a subordinate organ of the Sustainability Council, one of the main organs of the World Commonwealth, and is the organ that plans and implements environmental policies at the global level. It periodically reviews the enforcement of environmental laws in each Zone and has the authority to issue recommendations or stronger warnings as necessary.

If a Zone does not comply with the warnings, it will dispatch an environmental inspection team and conduct a compulsory investigation. If the inspection reveals any problems, the World Environment Programme will issue a new, binding corrective order, and if a Zone is not followed, it can recommend to the World Commonwealth  General Assembly that the Zone be suspended from membership in the World Commonwealth. 

On the other hand, enforcement at the Zonal level is directly handled by the the Commons' Convention, which is the representative body of the people in a communist society without the governmental structures that exist today, as is the case with other laws in environmental laws.

Here, the core of the environmental law enforcement body is the Sustainability Committee, which is also one of the standing committees of the Commons' Convention. This committee is the center of environmental policy making and legislation, and at the same time, it is the presiding body of environmental laws, which is established in each of the Zonal and its local Commons' Conventions and is responsible for everything from environmental impact assessment to the enforcement of environmental laws.

In particular, under the Sustainability Committee of the Zonal Commons' Conventions, the Environmental Inspection Offices are established in each region as the agencies responsible for on-site law enforcement. These offices are the practical agencies for the environmental impact assessments carried out by the Sustainability Committee, and at the same time, they are also environmental law enforcement agencies that uncover violations of environmental laws.

Similarly, local authorities within a unitary Zone or Zonelets constituting a federal Zone may also set up their own environmental enforcement agency under their Sustainability Committees.

Chapter 3: System of Environmental Law

3.4. Unified Environmental Code

The World Global Environmental Law (Treaty), which is the global common source of communist environmental law, requires each of the Zones that make up the World Commonwealth to enact its own environmental code. This Zonal environmental code functions as the basis for specific environmental conservation measures that are adapted to the environmental conditions of each Zone.

A Zonal environmental code is not simply a collection of individual laws, but a unified code that is enacted as a single law from the beginning. Since such a unified environmental code is a statute common to the entire Zone, it will be enacted as a federal statute that applies to in a federal Zone.

The content of the code reflects the three basic principles of the Global Environmental Law, namely, 1) conservation of biodiversity, 2) conservation of natural resources, and 3) prevention of climate change, and specifies a specific system of environmental conservation that takes into account the environmental conditions of each Zone.

This Zonal unified environmental code is not merely a conceptual law, but is the law that has the highest priority after the Charter in the Zonal legal system. It therefore provides guiding principles for economic code, civic code, counter-offenses code  (criminal code), and so on, which will be discussed in the following chapters.

Within the framework of this Zonal environmental code as a statute common to the entire Zone, local areas and the Zonelets that make up the federal Zone can not only enact their own environmental laws, but can also pioneer the enactment of their own environmental regulations that have not yet been stipulated in the Zonal code (preceding regulatory laws).

If the contents of pioneering regulatory laws in the localities where environmental conservation is taking place become widely recognized, they have the potential to be incorporated into the Zonal environmental code and become a entire Zonal legal matter, and therefore the enactment of such pioneering regulatory laws is explicitly encouraged in the Zonal environmental code as well.
