Protection of the Environment from Pollution due to Slums

الرافدین للحقوق, 2020
      Slums are among the problems that many developing countries suffer from, as do some developed countries, although the dimensions of the problem differ. The slums appeared as a result of the conditions that the country was exposed to, namely wars, displacement, or economic conditions that the state was unable to solve.
