Abstract

Since time immemorial, the Middle East has periodically suffered numerous and various conflicts. Throughout the ages, these conflicts and their reasons have been analysed from different perspectives and varied resolutions have been offered. However, so far, efforts have had limited success and many conflicts remain. Moreover, the region has also been suffering from environmental problems and environment-related conflicts for a long time. Nevertheless, as such problems and conflicts are exacerbating, general awareness over the protection of environment and desire for environmental justice and peace is also increasing. The Abraham Accords, signed between the State of Israel and 4 Arab nations, are the most recent and solid reflections of this awareness and desire, as the Accords created a new chance for parties to normalize their relations, and allowed parties to protect fragile environment of the region by predicting cooperation on vital topics namely environment, and water. Moreover, the Accords set an example to normalize other strained relations and long-standing environment-related conflicts in the region. Eventually, by initiating such legal and political co-operation processes, regional actors can take many social and environmental advantages while ensuring a degree of prosperity and security at the same time in the region which desperately needs it.

Özet

Ortadoğu çok eski zamanlardan beri dönemsel olarak çok sayıda ve çeşitli çatışmalara maruz kalmıştır. Çağlar boyunca bu çatışmalar ve sebepleri farklı açılardan incelenmiş ve çeşitli çözümler önerilmiştir. Ancak, şimdiye kadar sarf edilen çabalar sınırlı bir başarı elde etmiştir ki bugün dahi Büyük Ortadoğu’nun farklı köşelerinde pek çok çatışma halen devam etmektedir. Ayrıca bölge, uzun süredir çevre sorunları ve çevre kaynaklı politik çatışmalarla da boğuşmaktadır. Bu tür spesifik sorunlar ve çatışmalar her geçen gün daha da şiddetlenirken, çevrenin korunması konusundaki genel bilinç ve çevre adaleti ile çevre barışı gibi kavramlar da her geçen gün daha fazla önem kazanmaktadır. İsrail Devleti ile 4 Arap ülkesi arasında imzalanan İbrahim Antlaşmaları, bu farkındalığın ve arzunun en güncel ve somut yansımalarıdır. Antlaşmalar, taraflara ilişkilerini normalleştirmeleri için yeni bir fırsat yaratmış ve çevre ve su gibi hayati konularda işbirliği öngörerek tarafların zaten kırılgan olan ekolojik yapıyı korumalarına da olanak sağlamaktadır. Ayrıca, Antlaşmalar bölgede uzun süredir devam eden çevre kaynaklı diğer çatışmaların normalleştirilmesi için de somut bir örnek teşkil etmektedir. Sonuç olarak, bölgesel aktörler bu tür hukuki ve siyasi işbirliği süreçlerini başlatarak, birçok sosyal ve çevresel avantaj elde ederken, aynı zamanda buna çok ihtiyaç duyan bölgede bir dereceye kadar refah ve güvenlik de sağlayabilme imkanına kavuşmuşlardır.
