Book excerpt: La faune sauvage terrestre est actuellement confrontée a une sixième extinction de masse dont l'origine, contrairement aux extinctions des ères passées, est principalement anthropogénique. Suite à la prise de conscience de la communauté internationale dans les années 70, un nombre sans cesse croissant d'instruments juridiques ont été élaborés en vue de la protection de la faune sauvage terrestre sans pour autant parvenir à endiguer la disparition des espèces. A travers ce constat, c'est l'efficacité du régime juridique relatif à la protection de la faune sauvage terrestre qui est en cause. Le cœur du problème réside dans le fait que la faune sauvage terrestre est considérée comme une ressource naturelle. En ce sens, chaque État a compétence pour gérer, exploiter voire détruire les ressources en faune situées sur son territoire en vertu du principe de souveraineté permanente sur les ressources naturelles. Or, ce principe est en contradiction avec les réalités écologiques et biologiques dans la mesure où la faune sauvage terrestre, outre le fait qu'elle puisse être amenée a se déplacer sur le territoire de plusieurs États, participe à l'entretien d'écosystèmes ou à des processus biologiques qui dépassent bien souvent le cadre des frontières étatiques. L'exploitation des ressources en faune dans un État donné peut donc avoir des effets sur l'environnement des États tiers. En conséquence, la souveraineté des États sur leurs ressources en faune ne peut être absolue, ce que traduit imparfaitement le principe de non-utilisation dommageable du territoire dont l'application concrète et pratique à la faune sauvage terrestre reste incertaine eu égard à la difficile appréhension par le droit de la complexité des processus écologiques transfrontières. La faune sauvage terrestre ne devrait donc pas être soumise au même régime juridique que les ressources naturelles extractives qui sont invariablement situées sur le territoire d'un État donné et qui ne participent à l'entretien d'aucun écosystème ou processus biologique. Il serait sans doute plus pertinent d'envisager pour la faune sauvage terrestre un régime juridique comparable à celui qui s'applique à certains cours d'eau et bassins internationaux basé sur la Coopération. En effet, même s'il n'existe pas de régime juridique général applicable aux cours d'eau, ces derniers sont la plupart du temps considérés comme des ressources partagées de facto impliquant une gestion commune par les États riverains sans que la souveraineté de ces derniers soit remise en cause. Cette solution n'est pas celle qui prévaut actuellement en droit international. En effet, le régime actuel, entièrement construit autour du principe de souveraineté permanente sur les ressources naturelles se caractérise par sa fragmentation. Les obligations étatiques en matière de protection de la faune sauvage terrestre sont majoritairement d'origine conventionnelle. [...].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Par leur globalité et leur gravité, les menaces pesant sur la biodiversité font naître un pressant besoin de droit international. Les États ont adopté en 1992, sous l’égide des Nations Unies, la Convention sur la diversité biologique. De nombreuses conventions sectorielles et/ou régionales coexistent à ses côtés, ainsi qu’un ensemble de règles coutumières. L’étude du droit international de la biodiversité conduit aussi à dépasser les enjeux de protection ou préservation pour aborder les questions que posent l’utilisation et l’exploitation de la biodiversité. En cela, le droit international de la biodiversité entre en interactions, et parfois en conflit, avec d’autres règles du droit international. L’ambition de cet ouvrage n’est pas d’offrir une présentation exhaustive d’une matière abondante mais encore éparse, mais bien plutôt de participer à sa conceptualisation. Le droit international de la biodiversité est aussi un excellent laboratoire pour étudier les évolutions en cours du droit international contemporain, notamment l’institutionnalisation de la coopération, le développement d’un droit dérivé, l’articulation entre les règles coutumières et conventionnelles, les mécanismes de contrôle et d’accompagnement de l’État innovants.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EN DROIT DE L'ENVIRONNEMENT, LE PRINCIPE DE L'UTILISATION RATIONNELLE RECONNU EN DROIT INTERNATIONAL ET INTRODUIT DANS LE DROIT INTERNE DE NOMBREUX PAYS MARQUE UNE ETAPE IMPORTANTE DANS L'ELABORATION D'UNE NOUVELLE LOGIQUE JURIDIQUE INDISPENSABLE A LA CONSTRUCTION D'UN ORDRE RESPECTUEUX DES EQUILIBRES ECOLOGIQUES. UNE ANALYSE DU PRINCIPE REALISEE A PARTIR DE L'EVOLUTION DES RAPPORTS ENTRE L'HOMME ET LA FAUNE SAUVAGE PERMET D'APPREHENDER PAR UNE DEMARCHE CRITIQUE LES COMPORTEMENTS D'UTILISATION DES SOCIETES HUMAINES VIS-A-VIS DE LA NATURE. ELABORE A PARTIR DE LA PRISE DE CONSCIENCE COLLECTIVE DE LA DISPARITION DES RESSOURCES FAUNIQUES ET DE LA NECESSITE DE REGULER LES ACTIVITES ENTRAINANT LA DESTRUCTION DES ESPECES, LE PRINCIPE DE L'UTILISATION RATIONNELLE REVELE SON INTERET AINSI QUE SES LIMITES ET SES INSUFFISANCES DANS LA PERSPECTIVE D'UNE CONSERVATION EFFICACE DE LA FAUNE ET D'UNE APPROCHE PLUS GLOBALE DE LA PROTECTION DE LA BIOSPHERE. ALORS QUE LA LOGIQUE ECONOMIQUE DOMINANTE EST REMISE EN CAUSE, LA FAUNE EN TANT QUE RESSOURCE NATURELLE SOUS-EVALUEE ET SUREXPLOITEE DOIT ETRE RECONSIDEREE DANS UNE RATIONALITE ECOLOGIQUE. LA VISION D'UNE VIE SAUVAGE COMME SIMPLE RESSOURCE ECONOMIQUE APPARAIT DEFINITIVEMENT DEPASSEE. LE PRINCIPLE DE L'UTILISATION RATIONNELLE DOIT S'ELABORER AUTOUR D'UNE "VISION ENRICHIE" DE LA FAUNE SUSCEPTIBLE DE METTRE EN OEUVRE TOUTES SES POTENTIALITES D'UTILISATION TOUT EN ASSURANT SA CONSERVATION DANS LA PERSPECTIVE DU LONG TERME. REEVALUEE DANS UN ORDRE AU SEIN DUQUEL LES VALEURS NE SONT PLUS UNIQUEMENT ECONOMIQUES, LA FAUNE PEUT PARTICIPER A DES MODELES DE DEVELOPPEMENT "SOUTENABLES" POUR L'ENVIRONNEMENT. AINSI L'APPLICATION PAR LES ETATS, EN COLLABORATION AVEC LA COMMUNAUTE INTERNATIONALE, DE PRINCIPES D'ACTION VISANT A REEQUILIBRER LES RELATIONS ENTRE L'HOMME ET LE MILIEU NATUREL CONTRIBUE A LA CONSTRUCTION D'UN NOUVEL ORDRE ECOLOGIQUE RECONNAISSANT LA VALEUR INTRINSEQUE DES ELEMENTS DE LA NATURE SANS RENONCER A UNE CONCEPTION HUMANISTE.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The African Convention on the conservation of nature and natural resources was adopted in 1968 in Algiers. Considered the most forward looking regional agreement of the time, it influenced significantly the development of environmental law in Africa. Two and a half decades of intense developments in international environmental law made it necessary to revise this treaty, update its provisions and enlarge its scope. This was undertaken under the auspices of the African Union (previously OAU), and the revision was adopted by its Heads of State and Government in July 2003 in Maputo. The introduction provides an overview of this new international treaty, as well as a commentary to each of its provisions.

Download or read book Should Trees Have Standing written by Christopher D. Stone and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-07 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1972, Should Trees Have Standing? was a rallying point for the then burgeoning environmental movement, launching a worldwide debate on the basic nature of legal rights that reached the U.S. Supreme Court. Now, in the 35th anniversary edition of this remarkably influential book, Christopher D. Stone updates his original thesis and explores the impact his ideas have had on the courts, the academy, and society as a whole. At the heart of the book is an eminently sensible, legally sound, and compelling argument that the environment should be granted legal rights. For the new edition, Stone explores a variety of recent cases and current events--and related topics such as climate change and protecting the oceans--providing a thoughtful survey of the past and an insightful glimpse at the future of the environmental movement. This enduring work continues to serve as the definitive statement as to why trees, oceans, animals, and the environment as a whole should be bestowed with legal rights, so that the voiceless elements in nature are protected for future generations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been published by Allenvi (French National Alliance for Environmental Research) to coincide with the 22nd Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP22) in Marrakesh. It is the outcome of work by academic researchers on both sides of the Mediterranean and provides a remarkable scientific review of the mechanisms of climate change and its impacts on the environment, the economy, health and Mediterranean societies. It will also be valuable in developing responses that draw on “scientific evidence” to address the issues of adaptation, resource conservation, solutions and risk prevention. Reflecting the full complexity of the Mediterranean environment, the book is a major scientific contribution to the climate issue, where various scientific considerations converge to break down the boundaries between disciplines.

Download or read book Water Heritage written by Willem Willems and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-15 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water is vital for life, and its availability has been a concern for mankind throughout the ages. Its presence has always been ascertained in a variety of ways and the development of human society everywhere is connected with various forms of water management. Man also needed to manage water to find protection from its dangers and the need for that is increasing. In the coming decades, the impact of climate change is expected to intensify floods and droughts, affect groundwater resources, raise sea levels, increase pollution and enhance the frequency and magnitude of disasters. Societies around the world are challenged to adapt to these threats to ensure water security, economic prosperity and environmental and cultural sustainability. This book deals with the heritage of water management and the use that was made of water, as well as the impact of water management on heritage. An example of the former may be an ancient irrigation system in the Filipines or in the Middle East that still functions today, while the latter may reflect the importance of maintaining groundwater levels for the preservation of organic remains on archaeological sites or of wooden piles underneath standing buildings. In either case the papers in this book reflect the dynamic nature of water, and hence the equally dynamic relation between water management and heritage. This publication follows up on a Heritage and Water conference in Amsterdam, the first of its kind. Its main purpose is to credibly present the importance and value of heritage and historical experience for water and sustainable development, and vice versa, present the importance of water management for the protection of heritage. It presents evolving insights and concepts about Water and about Heritage from a variety of disciplines, policy and public perspectives illustrated with cases studies and aims to connect decision makers with experts such as engineers, archaeologists, historians, geographers, ecologist and landscape architects

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interplay between procedure and substance has not been a major point of contention for international environmental lawyers. Arguably, the topic’s low profile is due to the mostly uncontroversial nature of the field’s distinction between procedural and substantive obligations. Furthermore, the vast majority of environmental law scholars and practitioners have tended to welcome the procedural features of multilateral environmental agreements and their potential to promote regime evolution and effectiveness. However, recent developments have served to put the spotlight on certain aspects of the procedure substance topic. ICJ judgments revealed ambiguity on aspects of the customary law framework on transboundary harm prevention that the field had thought largely settled. In turn, in the treaty context, the Paris Agreement’s retreat from binding emissions targets and its decisive turn towards procedure reignited concerns in some quarters over the “proceduralization” of international environmental law. The two developments invite a closer look at the respective roles of, and the relationship between, procedure and substance in this field and, more specifically, in the context of harm prevention under customary and treaty law.
