International custom "as evidence of a general practice accepted as
law", is considered one of the two main sources of international
law as it primarily derives from the conduct of sovereign States,
but is also closely connected with the role of the international
judge when identifying the applicable customary rule, a function it
shares with the bodies in charge of its codification (and
progressive development), starting with the International Law
Commission. Though mainly considered to be general international
law, international custom has a complex relationship with many
specific fields of law and specific regions of the world. The
editor provides comprehensive research published in the last seven
decades, invaluable to everyone interested in the field of
customary international law.
Harnessing Foreign Investment to Promote Environmental Protection
investigates the main challenges facing the implementation of
environmental protection and the synergies between foreign
investment and environmental protection. Adopting legal, economic
and political perspectives, the contributing authors analyse the
various incentives which encourage foreign investment into
pro-environment projects (such as funds, project-finance, market
mechanisms, payments-for-ecosystem services and insurance) and the
safeguards against its potentially harmful effects (investment
regulation, CSR and accountability mechanisms, contracts and codes
of conduct).

The increasing role that NGOs play at different levels of legal
relevance - from treaty-making to rule implementation, and from
support to judges to aid delivery - calls for reconsideration of
the international legal status of those organizations. This book
shows that the degree of flexibility currently enjoyed by NGOs in
fields as varied as human rights, the environment and the European
Union development cooperation policy constitutes the best arena for
all actors involved, with the consequences that the instances where
more strict regulation of NGOs' participation is desirable are very
limited. With each chapter focusing on a different modality of NGO
participation in international affairs (from formalised legal
statuses to informal ways of dealing with issues of international
relevance), this book will be of great interest to academics
specialised in international law, political scientists,
international officials working for both international
organisations and non-governmental organisations, and legal
practitioners (legal counsels of international organisations,
lawyers and judges).
International Environmental Law offers a concise, conceptually
clear, and legally rigorous introduction to contemporary
international environmental law and practice. The book covers all
major environmental agreements, paying particular attention to
their underlying structure, main legal provisions, and practical
operation. It blends legal and policy analysis, making extensive
reference to the jurisprudence and scholarship, and addressing the
interconnections with other areas of international law, including
human rights, humanitarian law, trade and foreign investment. The
material is structured into four sections - foundations,
substantive regulation, implementation, and influence on other
areas of international law - which help the reader to navigate the
different areas of international environmental law. Each chapter
includes charts summarising the main components of the relevant
legal frameworks and provides a detailed bibliography. Suitable for
practicing and academic international lawyers who want an
accessible, up-to-date introduction to contemporary international
environmental law, as well as non-lawyers seeking a concise and
clear understanding of the subject.

The authors of Re-Indigenizing Ecological Consciousness and the
Interconnectedness to Indigenous Identities share the diversity and
complexities of the Indigenous context of worldviews, examining
relationships between humans and other living beings within an
eco-conscious lens. Michelle Montgomery's edited volume shows that
we belong not only to a human community, but to a community of all
nature as well. The contributors demonstrate that the reciprocity
of Indigenous knowledges is inclusive and represents worldviews for
regenerative solutions and the need to realign our view of the
environment as a "who" rather than an "it." This reciprocity is
intertwined as an obligation of environmental ethics to acknowledge
the attributes of Indigenous knowledges as not merely a body of
knowledge but as multiple layers or levels of placed-based
knowledges, identities, and lived experiences.
