Abstract
Transboundary pollution
of the environment requires a strong legal basis to hold countries who should
be responsible for polluting, the research aims to find out how the negative
impact of Fukushima's radioactive waste on the marine environment in the
Pacific Ocean can impact to all countries, on marine ecosystems especially
China is a neighbor country to Japan, as well as a representative country along
the coast of the Pacific Ocean that can protect its rights. They are related to
appropriate strategies and security measures for the comfort of the world's
ecosystem. In this repatriation crisis, Japan's neighbor countries are direct
stakeholders, so the mitigation strategies will be implemented and especially
attract world attention resulting from the radioactive waste and provide an
understanding of the legal consequences for all countries because of
radioactive waste as in the regulation of international environmental law
(United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982 (UNCLOS 1982) which is
embodied in international conventions. Fukushima radioactive waste dumped into
the sea can cause serious harm to the marine environmental ecosystem, social
impacts and economic impacts, and in all aspects of Japan's decision to dispose
of radioactive waste into the sea. Degrading radioactive waste into the sea can
cause serious harm to the marine environmental ecosystem, social impacts and
economic impacts, and in all aspects of Japan's decision to dispose of
radioactive waste into the sea. Transboundary pollution of the environment
requires a strong legal basis to hold countries who should be responsible for
polluting. The type of research is using normative legal research. Legal
research is conducted doctrinally, namely "research on the law that is
conceptualized and developed based on the doctrine adhered to by the
conceptualizer or developer. Japan released radioactive contaminated waste
without considering international laws governing the human environment, and the
Japanese government will be held liable for violating its international
obligations. Therefore, protecting and preventing greenhouse gas emissions is a
crucial obligation in safeguarding human rights and environmental health, both
now and in the future. To fulfill its international responsibility to protect
the marine environment, the Japanese government must conduct an EIA
(Environmental Impact Assessment) under international law. Because all the
radioactive nuclear waste carried out by Japan affects the world's fisheries.
