International law's role in governing disasters is undergoing a
formative period in its development and reach, in parallel with
concerted efforts by the international community to respond more
effectively to the increasing number and intensity of disasters
across the world. This Research Handbook examines a broad range of
legal regimes directly and indirectly relevant to disaster
prevention, mitigation and reconstruction across a spectrum of
natural and manmade disasters, including armed conflict. The
editors take a broad, encompassing approach to the concept of
disaster, concluding that a new corpus of international disaster
law may be emerging. Key contributions interweave a number of key
themes from an international law perspective across a wide range of
discrete topics as diverse as water, food and energy security,
dispute settlement, protection of vulnerable groups, cyber
terrorism, international criminal law, climate change migration and
international economics and trade law. This comprehensive study
makes an important contribution to international law scholarship
governing disasters, which in the past has largely focused on
disaster response and relief law. The different perspectives
incorporated in this Research Handbook are likely to appeal not
only to students and academics, but equally to governmental,
intergovernmental and non-governmental actors drawn across the
crisis, conflict and disaster management sectors. Contributors
