Abstract
The changing character of modern warfare necessitates the examination of the laws protecting the environment during armed conflict. Most of these laws and agreements are anthropocentric, premised on the assumption that the environment merits protection only because it is vital to human survival. The few agreements that are partially ecocentric, recognizing nature’s intrinsic value, remain limited by issues of applicability, enforcement, and accountability
