Abstract: (24 Views) |
| This study examines the environmental liability of large industrial companies in Iran, focusing on a case study of the Haft-Tappeh Sugarcane Company. The findings indicate that the traditional framework of civil liability in Iran, based on rules such as Itlaf (Direct Destruction), Tasbib (Causation), and Daman (Guarantee), has limited effectiveness in dealing with extensive and collective environmental damages. A comparative analysis with the legal systems of the European :union: and the United States reveals that these jurisdictions have strengthened corporate accountability and achieved environmental justice by adopting modern concepts such as strict liability, precautionary liability, and ecological compensation. The case study of Haft-Tappeh demonstrates that the company’s activities—leading to water, soil, and air pollution, threats to biodiversity, and health crises—represent a clear example of legal and institutional gaps in Iran. Accordingly, to enhance environmental accountability in Iran, legislative reforms, the establishment of specialized environmental courts, the design of participatory monitoring mechanisms, and the implementation of collective compensation and ecological restoration systems are essential. Such reforms can provide the basis for achieving environmental justice, increasing public trust, and moving toward sustainable development |
