More than ever before the changing environmental and political
landscape in the Arctic requires stability and foreseeability based
on resilient common norms. The emerging legal orders in the Arctic
cannot be legitimately created or effectively implemented unless
all relevant actors are involved. Simultaneously, it must always be
based on respect for the sovereign rights of the eight Arctic
states in the region, as well as the tradition and cultural
livelihood of the local communities. It is this delicate balance
between Arctic and non-Arctic interests that is the core
problematique for the emerging legal orders in the Arctic
More than ever before the changing environmental and political
landscape in the Arctic requires stability and foreseeability based

cannot be legitimately created or effectively implemented unless

based on respect for the sovereign rights of the eight Arctic
states in the region, as well as the tradition and cultural
livelihood of the local communities. It is this delicate balance
between Arctic and non-Arctic interests that is the core
problematique for the emerging legal orders in the Arctic. Emerging
Legal Orders in the Arctic critically examines the role of
non-Arctic actors in this advancement of the shape and scope of the
Arctic legal order. Discussing the admittance and participation of
Observer states and organisations in the Arctic Council, including
task force meetings where new treaties are negotiated, it details
the issues and successes this can result in. Setting up the context
of the current legal orders in the Arctic, the book discusses
Asian, indigenous and European perspectives, amongst others. There
is a strong focus on the groundbreaking fisheries agreement of
November 2017 in the Central Arctic Ocean (CAO), and the impact on
both Arctic and non-Arctic actors. Interests in marine living
resources, scientific cooperation and the Arctic shipping regimes
and governance are also thoroughly discussed from multiple
perspectives. The book combines the expertise of academics and
practitioners in the fields of international law and Arctic
governance, uniquely focusing on Asian actors in the Arctic legal
order-making. The resulting study is a fascinating insight into the
interplay between non-Arctic actors and the Arctic legal order, and
will be invaluable to academics in the field of Arctic and
international law.
The Nagoya-Kuala Lumpur Supplementary Protocol on Liability and
Redress to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, adopted on 15
October 2010 in Nagoya, Japan, provides an international liability
regime for biodiversity damage caused by living modified organisms
(LMOs). Its adoption marks a significant development in the legal
design for international environmental liability regimes, as it
incorporates for the first time in global treaties an
administrative approach to liability. This book examines the
Supplementary Protocol from both practitioner and academic
perspectives. In its three parts the book explores the historical
development, legal significances, and future implementation of the
core provisions of the Supplementary Protocol, focusing
specifically on its incorporation of an administrative approach to
liability for biodiversity damage and its relation to civil
liability. Contributors to the volume include Co-Chairs of the
negotiating group and the negotiators and advisors from some of the
key negotiating Parties, offering valuable insights into the
difficult-to-read provisions of the Supplementary Protocol. The
book demonstrates the significant changes in the political
configuration of environmental treaty negotiations which have come
about in the twenty-first century, and argues that the liability
approach of the Supplementary Protocol has important implications
for future development of international liability regimes under
international environmental law.
