In modern international law, permanent sovereignty over natural
resources has come to entail duties as well as rights. This study
analyses the evolution of permanent sovereignty from a political
claim to a principle of international law, and examines its
significance for a number of controversial issues such as people's
rights, nationalization and environmental conservation. Although
political discussion has long focused on the rights arising from
permanent sovereignty, Dr Schrijver argues that this has been at
the expense of the consideration of the corollary obligations it
also entails. His book thus identifies directions sovereignty over
natural resources has taken in an increasingly interdependent world
and demonstrates its relevance to debate on foreign-investment
regulation, the environment and sustainable development.
