Abstract
One of the challenges surrounding the operation of private legal entities, such as multinationals or transnational corporations, is the breach of their obligations and environmental obligations that sometimes these are cause of hurt and irreparable damages. This has been one of the concerns of developing countries as capitalist countries. Consistent environmental violations by these entities raise the question of whether these entities have in principle complied with the legal requirements for adherence and promotion of environmental standards. International environmental law appears to be a requirement, though in the form of soft law, for these individuals. The standards and norms that are hoped to be enforced and institutionalized in international law can at least justify the harmful effects of private legal entities on the environmental impacts. This article deals with the requirements and obligations of non-governmental legal entities, relying on substantive legal principles that have generally entered international environmental law by peaceful international relations and through international judicial practice.
