This book was released on 2004 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El derecho ambiental está integrado, en su nivel normativo, por las fuentes tradicionales y comunes a cualquier otra rama del ordenamiento jurídico. El marco jurídico internacional ha sido reconocido como una de sus principales fuentes, hasta el punto de señalarse que define hoy en día el criterio o pauta de la civilización ambiental. Si la Declaración Universal de los Derechos del Hombre define la frontera que separa un estado de civilización y otro de barbarie, las normas internacionales en materia ambiental delimitan el ámbito del estado de civilización ecológica del estado de barbarie. Este cánon de civilización es, para Jiménez de Parga, la más importante de las funciones que despliegan estas normas, por encima, incluso, de su propia fuerza jurídica

Así, el trabajo aborda un análisis de esta rama del derecho no solo desde la perspectiva histórica sino también desde el examen jurídico de los aspectos fundamentales de la protección ambiental en el plano internacional y, sobre todo, sus implicaciones y reflejo en el derecho colombiano, con especial énfasis en la articulación entre las fuentes del Derecho Internacional Ambiental (DIA) y el sistema jurídico interno.
Download or read book Derecho Internacional Ambiental written by Uribe Vargas, Diego and published by Editorial Tadeo Lozano. This book was released on 2009-11-27 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sobre un mismo telón de fondo, los autores de este libro avanzan algunas ideas propias acerca de cómo la Corte, basándose en presuntas posiciones de las partes en conflicto en el caso incoado ante ella en 2008 por Ecuador en contra de Colombia, habría de desarrollar en su fallo sobre el fondo el Derecho Internacional Ambiental. Al así hacerlo, demuestran ellos un enfoque objetivo del caso. Es cierto que, al menos en lo que concierne a la posición del demandante, sus rasgos generales han sido ya trazados en la demanda, el escrito con que se inició la acción judicial.Merece destacar el ejemplo que ofrece el esfuerzo conjunto del estadista y publicista autor y de su aventajado discípulo, el catedrático e investigador Cárdenas Castañeda, plasmado en lo que es un verdadero Tratado.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 849 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Climate change presents one of the greatest challenges of our time, and has become one of the defining issues of the twenty-first century. The radical changes which both developed and developing countries will need to make, in economic and in legal terms, to respond to climate change are unprecedented. International law, including treaty regimes, institutions, and customary international law, needs to address the myriad challenges and consequences of climate change, including variations in the weather patterns, sea level rise, and the resulting migration of peoples. ... This book addresses the major legal dimensions of the problems caused by climate change: including questions ranging from how to implement international legal frameworks at the national level, to how carbon trading systems can be used as a means of reducing the costs of meeting emission reduction targets."--Book jacket.

International trade in fish has reached new peaks as overall production has continued to rise. Yet, as the document underlines, an array of problems--ranging from the need for more effective governance to that of ensuring environmental sustainability--threatens to undermine the sector's valuable contribution to alleviating hunger and reducing poverty. Using the latest available statistics on fisheries and aquaculture, this edition presents a global analysis of the sector's status and trends.

Download or read book Global Environmental Constitutionalism written by James R. May and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflecting a global trend, scores of countries have affirmed that their citizens are entitled to healthy air, water, and land and that their constitution should guarantee certain environmental rights. This book examines the increasing recognition that the environment is a proper subject for protection in constitutional texts and for vindication by constitutional courts. This phenomenon, which the authors call environmental constitutionalism, represents the confluence of constitutional law, international law, human rights, and environmental law. National apex and constitutional courts are exhibiting a growing interest in environmental rights, and as courts become more aware of what their peers are doing, this momentum is likely to increase. This book explains why such provisions came into being, how they are expressed, and the extent to which they have been, and might be, enforced judicially. It is a singular resource for evaluating the content of and hope for constitutional environmental rights.
