Providing an insightful contribution to literature on the topic,
this book scrutinises how international courts and tribunals may
respond procedurally to an ever-growing list of environmental
disputes. In a time of environmental crisis, it lays crucial
groundwork for strengthening the application of international
environmental law, a topic of increasing relevance for global civil
society. Putting into perspective the practices of various
international courts and tribunals, the author works within the
constraints of the existing judicial framework to sharpen
international environmental justice and governance. Bendel provides
judges and litigators with tools that they can use when confronted
with environmental disputes, to extract the best practices in the
interest of improving environmental litigation for each phase of a
judicial procedure. This state-of-the-art book will be an
invaluable resource for academics and students of environmental
law, dispute settlement and public international law. With its
practical applications, international judges, litigators and
governments will also benefit from the book.
In a world of growing public interest over global matters, and
criticisms over multilateralism to adequately address them, the
role of international courts and tribunals in the resolution of
disputes is shifting. A central aspect of this shift is whether and
how international courts and tribunals can be used to resolve such
disputes in the public interest. This practice, referred to as
public interest litigation, is the object of this collection, which
identifies some recent developments, trends and prospects in this
growing practice. Its aim is to assess the degree to which the
bilateral design of international courts and tribunals can adapt to
the shift towards a public approach to international litigation.
Engaging with various fields where public interest litigation
exists - such as human rights, climate change, global health and
criminal law - it identifies recent developments, trends and
prospects in this practice. The selected pieces provide a flavour
of the types of issues that have arisen before international
judicial bodies - for instance the International Court of Justice,
the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, international
arbitral tribunals, regional human rights bodies or criminal courts
- and explores issues that may arise in the future.
