This book reveals the many harms which flow across the ever-more
porous sovereign borders of a globalising world. These harms expose
weaknesses in the international legal regime built on sovereignty
of nation states. Using the Trail Smelter Arbitration, one of the
most cited cases in international environmental law, this book
explores the changing nature of state responses to transboundary
harm. Taking a critical approach, the book examines the
arbitration's influence on international law generally, and
international environmental law specifically. In particular, the
book explores whether there are lessons from Trail Smelter that are
useful for resolving transboundary challenges confronting the
international community. The book collects the commentary of a
distinguished set of international law scholars who consider the
history of the Trail Smelter arbitration, its significance for
international environmental law, its broader relationship to
international law, and its resonance in fields beyond the
environment.
