Environmentally sustainable development has become one of the
world's most urgent priorities. But countries cannot achieve it
alone: it depends on international coordination and action.
Greening International Institutions, the latest in a series of
highly-acclaimed publications devoted to environmental and
developmental law, assesses how far and how successfully
intergovernmental organizations have responded to the challenge.
The organizations analyzed include: the UN General Assembly, the
new Commission for Sustainable Development, UNEP, UNDP and UNCTAD,
WTO, GATT, NAFTA, the Bretton Woods institutions and several
regional bodies, as well as treaty bodies and the mechanisms for
avoiding and settling disputes. For each, the contributors provide
an accessible overview of the organization's mandate and structure,
examine substantive policy initiatives and assess the need and
scope for procedural and institutional reform. Drawing together a
collection of essays by lawyers and researchers from various
backgrounds, Greening International Institutions is stimulating
reading for students and policy-makers, as well as anyone concerned
with the development of international institutions. Jacob Werksman
is an attorney, a Programme Director at FIELD, and Visiting
Lecturer in International Economic Law at the University of London.
Greening International Institutions is the fifth volume in the
International Law and Sustainable Development series, co-developed
with FIELD. The series aims to address and define the major legal
issues associated with sustainable development and to contribute to
the progressive development of international law. Other titles in
the series are: Greening International Law, Interpreting the
Precautionary Principle, Property Rights in the Defence of Nature
and Improving Compliance with International Environmental Law. 'A
legal parallel to the Blueprint series - welcome, timely and
provocative' David Pearce Originally published in 1996
