In June 2023, in Russia-occupied Kherson, Ukraine, the Nova Kakhovka Dam suffered a massive breach. The result: catastrophic flooding and environmental contamination highlighting the pressing issue of environmental damage during armed conflict. As we consider the concept of ‘green justice’ as a fundamental objective, it becomes imperative to closely examine the evolving legal framework of international humanitarian law with reference to relevant historical events, such as this recent incident in Ukraine.
