This two-volume set contains a representative selection of leading
articles by outstanding scholars, practitioners, and policymakers
in the field of international environmental law (IEL). Professor
Anton has organized the contributions along three major lines:
firstly, the papers explore the challenge of transnational
environmental problems and the nature of IEL, including fundamental
principles and concepts, actors, and compliance and enforcement.
Secondly, the development and application of IEL in the context of
specific regimes is explored, including atmosphere, oceans, and
hazardous substances. Finally, the volumes examine how IEL
interacts with other international legal regimes, including
international trade and human rights. All the contributions reflect
a broad diversity of views and cover the most important key areas
currently debated in IEL. Alongside an original introduction by the
editor, this collection is a valuable tool for scholars,
researchers, practitioners, and students with an interest in
international environmental law.
With unique scholarly analysis and practical discussion, this book
provides a comprehensive introduction to the relationship between
environmental protection and human rights being formalized into law
in many legal systems. By illuminating human rights theory and the
institutions that can be employed to meet environmental goals, this
book instructs on environmental techniques and procedures that
assist in the protection of human rights. The text provides cogent
guidance on a growing international jurisprudence on the promotion
and protection of human rights in relation to the environment that
has been developed by international and regional human rights
bodies and tribunals. It explores a rich body of case law that
continues to develop within states on the environmental dimension
of the rights to life, to health, and to public participation and
access to information. Five compelling contemporary case studies
are included that implicate human rights and the environment,
ranging from large dam projects, to the creation of a new human
rights, to a clean environment.
