Precautionary Principle in the Environment Law
Abstract
The basic idea is that no one can foresee the future or the new risks generated by the unpredictable development of science and technology, so there must be a remedy for the law to sanction those who do not adopt a close behavior to this new existential situations. In this context, the precautionary principle has emerged, which entail a new social and individual attitude towards the threats and risks of modern technologies. The precaution requires the adoption of measures meant to protect human health and the environment, even if the current level of technical and scientific development does not anticipate a hazard but does not exclude it either.
