The third edition of this classic textbook offers comprehensive and
critical commentary on international environmental law. It fully
covers the key topics of the course and is clearly structured to
include the history and framework in which international
environmental law exists, key areas of regulation and
implementation, links to other areas of law and future
developments. It has been updated to incorporate all the latest
developments in treaty and case law. Extensive feedback on previous
editions results in a restructuring of material, including a new
part focused on linkage to other areas of international law
including human rights, international trade and foreign investment.
There is also a new chapter on future developments charting the
directions in which the subject is moving. Specialist authors
writing on oceans, seas and fisheries and biodiversity add to the
expertise of the two principal authors for an authoritative
overview of the subject.
This new and fully updated edition of Principles of International
Environmental Law offers a comprehensive and critical account of
one of the fastest growing areas of international law: the
principles and rules relating to environmental protection.
Introducing the reader to the key foundational principles,
governance structures and regulatory techniques, Principles of
International Environmental Law explores each of the major areas of
international environmental regulation through substantive
chapters, including climate change, atmospheric protection, oceans
and freshwater, biodiversity, chemicals and waste regulation. The
ever-increasing overlap with other areas of international law is
also explored through examination of the inter-linkages between
international environmental law and other areas of international
regulation, such as trade, human rights, humanitarian law and
investment law. Incorporating the latest developments in treaty and
case law for key areas of environmental regulation, this text is an
essential reference and textbook for advanced undergraduate and
postgraduate students, academics and practitioners of international
environmental law.
This book examines liability for environmental harm in Antarctic,
deep seabed, and high seas commons areas, highlighting a unique set
of legal questions: Who has standing to claim environmental harms
in global commons ecosystems? How should questions of causation and
liability be addressed where harm arises from a variety of
activities by state and non-state actors? What kinds of harm should
be compensable in global commons ecosystems, which are remote and
characterized by high levels of scientific uncertainty? How can
practical concerns such as ensuring adequate funds for compensation
be resolved? This book provides the first in-depth examination and
evaluation of current rules and possible avenues for future legal
developments in this area of increasing importance for states,
international organizations, commercial actors, and legal and
governance scholars. This title is part of the Flip it Open
Programme and may also be available Open Access. Check our website
