Abstract

tract One of the most important problems facing the environment is the difficulty of recycling electronic waste, because its components contain lead, mercury and some toxic substances. These include communication towers, mobile devices and their means of their operation such as televisions, computers, video cameras, Thus, the Iraqi legislator has determined the responsibility of the communication companies for the damage caused by the text of Article 231 of the Iraqi Civil Code, which stipulates the following: - (Anyone who has at his disposal mechanical devices or other things that require special attention to prevent their harm, Be liable for any damage caused unless it is proved that he has taken due care to prevent the occurrence of such damage, taking into account the special relevant rules. However, there are some developments that make this text not enough to deal with the corporato responsibility of the electronic pollution for communication towers. Therefore, we recommend the Iraqi legislator to add a paragraph to Article (11) of the Environment Protection and Improvement Act No. 27 of 2009 to become as follows (1) to prevent entities with activities affecting the environment from performing their work without obtaining the approval of the Ministry. 2- Morality is canceled if it is proved that the damage caused by the project is greater than estimated in the report submitted to the administrative authority).
