Sample Text
Due to the damage caused to the environment, humanity is living in pre-apocalyptic days. Acts that violate the environment should be punished with heavy penalties because they violate the most basic legal existence and interests of humanity. The sanctions foreseen in Turkish positive law to protect the environment are unsystematic and insufficient. When designing punishment for acts that violate the environment, administrative law, criminal law and private law sanctions should be foreseen in a balanced manner and these sanctions should be applied strictly and harshly. However, no matter what sanction measures are taken, it is not possible to find a long-term and permanent solution to environmental problems. In other words, preventing the destruction of the environment and nature only through sanctions will be nothing more than a crude dream. In order to effectively protect the environment and nature, Turkey, which is perhaps the only source of hope for all humanity, needs to take radical economic, social, cultural and legal measures at national and international levels. Unless Turkey takes these steps, humankind currently living in the days before the apocalypse will perhaps be able to witness the end of the apocalypse by 2100. Due to given damage against environment, humankind lives the advanced days of Reckoning. Violating acts that violate the environment the most basic status and interests of humankind so those acts must be punished with heavy penalties. The sanctions that contemplated in Turkish positive law to protect environment are unsystematic and inadequate. During the envisaged penalties against the violating acts for the environment, both administrative, criminal and civil law sanctions have to be prescribed in a measured way and the aforementioned sanctions must be applied in a harsh and firm way. However, in any manner whatsoever sanctions measures are impossible to solve the environmental problems in long-term and permanent. In other words, preventing the destruction of nature and environment solely with sanctions cannot go beyond the immature dream. To effectively protect the environment and nature, Turkey, probably the sole hope of all humankind, has to take drastic economic, social, cultural and legal measures both national and international level. If Turkey do not take steps, the humankind that lives the advanced days of Reckoning at present days, possibly can witness the Day of Judgment until 2100.
