This remarkable collection of papers, sponsored by the Centre for
International Sustainable Development Law (CISDL), demonstrates
that sustainable development serves as a unifying concept with the
potential to facilitate much-needed respect for international law
and timely implementation of diverse and overlapping international
commitments. It builds on the substance of a rich and complex
debate at the intersections among economic, social, and
environmental law, bringing together a broad cross-section of
viewpoints and voices. The authors review recent developments in
WTO discussions and negotiations, and in the recent decisions of
the WTO Appellate Body, from a sustainable development law
perspective. They also survey relevant new developments in trade
and economic agreements at regional, inter-regional and bi-lateral
levels. The various essays focus on sustainable development aspects
of key issues in recent trade negotiations such as the "Singapore
Issues" (investment, competition, trade facilitation, and
government procurement), intellectual property rights, investment
arbitration and the linkage between the WTO and multilateral
environmental accords (MEAs). Among the specific topics covered are
the following: emerging areas of law and policy in trade and
sustainable development; the underlying development agendas in
global trade law negotiations; cooperation and potential
negotiation on international competition law; overlaps between
multilateral environmental accords (MEAs) and the WTO; recent
developments in WTO dispute settlement procedures and proceedings;
human rights and environmental opportunities from trade
liberalisation and increased market access; human rights and
environment impact assessment techniques used to analyse trade
agreements; and, recent developments in bi-lateral and regional
trade agreements. Trade, investment, and competition law
practitioners and negotiators in developed and developing countries
will find this book of great value, as will development and
environment law professionals with responsibility for trade and WTO
law related matters.
