Inhaltsangabe

This post-UNCED account of the frameworks, standards and implementation of the international environmental law is intended for undergraduates and academics in the fields of international law, politics, geography, economics and environmental studies. It can be used on its own as a reference or course text or in conjunction with its companion collections of documents. The first section of the book sets out the legal and institutional framework - the field's historical development, the relevant international actors, the law-making process and compliance. Section Two considers the standards: for general application; for the protection of the atmosphere, oceans, freshwater resources and biological diversity; and for the control of pollution and waste. It also examines the standards applying in Antarctic and Arctic regions and in the European Community. Part Three examines the techniques available for implementation, such as environmental impact assessment, the provision of environmental information and the liability and compensation for environmental damage. This part also covers the environmental aspects of the international rules governing trade, competition, finance, technology and intellectual property.
