In this regard, the author addresses the problem of international cooperation in the field of environment protection. The article provides for a detailed analysis of the public danger of the issue under review, which poses a threat to all mankind; it suggests establishing criminal liability for pollution of the waters of the World Ocean and presents theoretical developments of new criminal law regulations.
