Abstract
The Caspian Sea, as the largest lake in the world, faces environmental problems on its shores and water borders, and its solution is criminal protection of the urban environment in the form of criminalizing destructive behaviors against trees, waste, air, water and soil pollution and noise pollution, as well as threats to public health and damage to the environment based on the provisions of the Convention on the Law of the Sea. Governments have the sovereign right to exploit natural resources according to environmental policies (water border of the Caspian Sea). The question is how to compensate the damage to the environment of the Caspian Sea? And the hypothesis is that the issue of Caspian Sea border contamination is always disputed. The result is that if the damage occurs by the workers in any case, even thought the sponsor government has done appropriate measures; it is possible to suppose criminal responsibility and compensation for him.
