Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage analyse sous l'angle juridique les grandes problématiques liées à la protection de l'environnement. On y trouve notamment des analyses consacrées aux changements climatiques, à la pollution de l'air et des mers, au risque nucléaire et au mouvement international des déchets dangereux. La protection de la couche d'ozone, de la biodiversité et des ressources naturelles fait aussi l'objet de chapitres distincts. Des développements plus spécifiques portent sur le droit à un environnement sain comme droit de l'homme, sur les liens entre le commerce et l'environnement, sur la responsabilité internationale pour dommages transfrontières et sur les principes généraux de cette nouvelle discipline qu'est devenu le droit international de l'environnement. Cette nouvelle édition met à jour la jurisprudence et la législation des dernières années. Trois nouveaux chapitres ont également été ajoutés : la protection des eaux douces, la pollution transfrontière atmosphérique et la protection de l'environnement dans un contexte de conflits armés.
Download or read book La justice internationale l preuve de la question environnementale written by Loïc Vatna and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’effectivité des normes environnementales est l’un des principaux défis de la communauté internationale. La pratique internationale montre que la conscience de la vulnérabilité de l’environnement a conditionné une production normative prolifique et anarchique. Dans ces conditions, on est conduit à s’interroger sur la réalité de la volonté de répondre pleinement au défi environnemental, ainsi qu’à vérifier la mécanique selon laquelle il est fait droit à la logique environnementale sur la scène internationale. A cet égard, l’étude du contentieux international se révèle un précieux instrument, dans la mesure où le droit processuel donne une vision pénétrante de la règle de droit, saisie dans toutes les étapes de sa vie, depuis sa genèse jusqu’à son interprétation judiciaire. Une telle étude met en évidence la difficulté des mécanismes contentieux à s’adapter à la logique environnementale, que ce soit en matière de participation de tiers, non étatiques notamment, ou encore en terme de préservation des intérêts écologiques en cours d’instance. Si l’adaptation r structurelle laisse à désirer, on se rend compte qu’il en va autrement en matière d’interprétation du droit, les mécanismes contentieux recourant de plus en plus à des méthodes favorables à la question environnementale, comme l’interprétation systémique ou la proportionnalité. L’analyse serait très incomplète si elle omettait l’adaptation du droit international de l’environnement sous l’effet du contentieux, celui-ci contribuant non seulement à préciser le contenu des normes, mais aussi à identifier celles ayant accédé au rang de normes coutumières. Tel est le cas du Principe 21, du principe de prévention et du devoir de coopération internationale, cependant que le juge international évite soigneusement de se prononcer sur le statut du principe de précaution, dont le contenu n’est pourtant plus matière à controverse.

Download or read book Accountability International Business Operations and the Law written by Liesbeth Enneking and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-05 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A consensus has emerged that corporations have societal and environmental responsibilities when operating transnationally. However, how exactly corporations can be held legally accountable for their transgressions, if at all, is less clear. This volume inquires how regulatory tools stemming from international law, public law, and private law may or may not be used for transnational corporate accountability purposes. Attention is devoted to applicable standards of liability, institutional and jurisdictional issues, and practical challenges, with a focus on ways to improve the existing legal status quo. In addition, there is consideration of the extent to which non-legal regulatory instruments may complement or provide more viable alternatives to these legal mechanisms. The book combines legaldoctrinal approaches with comparative, interdisciplinary, and policy insights with the dual aim of furthering the legal scholarly debate on these issues and enabling higher quality decision-making by policymakers seeking to implement regulatory measures that enhance corporate accountability in this context. Through its study of contemporary developments in legislation and case law, it provides a timely and important contribution to the scholarly and sociopolitical debate in the fastevolving field of international corporate social responsibility and accountability.
Download or read book The Global Community Yearbook of International Law and Jurisprudence 2010 Volume I written by Giuliana Ziccardi Capaldo and published by . This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: a. The set generally: [Please note that the following description applies to both volumes in the 2010 Yearbook, not solely to Volume I.] The Global Community Yearbook is a one-stop resource for all researchers studying international law generally or international criminal tribunals specifically. The Global Community Yearbook appears annually in two-volume editions of carefully chosen primary source material and corresponding expert commentary. The general editor, Professor Giuliana Ziccardi Capaldo, employs her vast expertise in international law to select excerpts from important court opinions and also to choose experts from around the world who contribute essay-guides to illuminate those cases. Although the main focus is recent case law from the major international tribunals and regional courts, the first volume of each year's edition always features expert articles by renowned scholars who address broader themes in international law, themes that appear throughout the case law of the many courts covered by the series as a whole. b. This particular edition (2010): Beginning with the 2010 edition, the Yearbook will include the new section, Forum-Jurisprudential Cross-Fertilization: An Annual Overview. This section aims to compare and analyze the interconnections between the decisions of international courts and tribunals, as a way of exploring and examining judicial dialogue and the development of common legal principles and concepts in all branches of international law. The Yearbook is the first academic journal to present an annual overview of the process of jurisprudential cross-fertilization between the courts, based on the drafting and systematic classification of legal maxims (i.e. points of law decided by various international courts) in the section entitled Decisions of International Courts and Tribunals. A comprehensive and complete survey by eminent international law scholars exploring, evaluating and documenting this process has the potential to enhance our contribution and thus further guide our understanding of how to reduce conflicts and create an effective exchange of legal reasoning between different courts. The aim is to promote a favorable environment for the courts to advance the process of judicial cooperation with a view to the possible harmonization of legal principles governing the global community. c. Individual volumes: Volume 1: The 2010 edition of the Global Community Yearbook presents three categories of material wholly beneficial to any international law-researcher: International tribunals' court opinions, excerpted with scholarly skill by General Editor Giuliana Ziccardi Capaldo; expert guidance on those cases in the form of commentary by globally recognized luminaries whom Ziccardi has chosen personally; and more broadly focused introductory essays by similarly prominent scholars whom Ziccardi has also selected for that purpose. In the introductory essays, those scholars take on current topics such as global intellectual property law and policy, the nature of international law and human development, and the legal-political connotation of material support to terrorism. These incisive and knowledgeable introductory articles help frame the debates currently raging in international law before this edition leads the reader on to expert commentary on the noteworthy cases from this past year's dockets of the following tribunals: - The International Court of Justice - The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea - WTO Dispute Settlement System - International Criminal Court - International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia - International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda - Court of Justice of the European Union Ziccardi has arranged the sections of this volume according to that list of tribunals, and she has included a short, targeted index for each of those sections, making any research in this volume efficient and fruitful. The 2010 edition of the Global Community Yearbook also gives researchers an illuminating tour through the varied and dynamic law of regional and organizational courts. In the court opinion excerpts and expert commentary that fill this volume, researchers will find detailed guidance on a rich diversity of legal topics. On these questions and a host of others, this volume provides to students, scholars, and practitioners alike a valuable combination of expert discussion and direct quotes from the court opinions to which that discussion relates. The courts covered in this edition include: - The Court of Justice - The European Court of Human Rights - Inter-American Court of Human Rights - International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes
Download or read book Annuaire Europeen 2000 European Yearbook 2000 written by Francis Rosensteil and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2001-07-01 with total page 1154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year 2000's most significant international event was, almost certainly, neither political nor military, but scientific - the announcement, in June, that the human genome had been almost totally decoded. Future generations may well see this as a major turning point, opening the way to radical changes in diagnosis, prognosis, and medical treatment. Often compared with the space programme, this vast enterprise still generates misgivings: this new power, which human beings now have, to modify the genetic heritage of living creatures raises fundamentally new ethical questions - and society as a whole will have to find the answers. In fact, the accelerating pace of scientific and technical progress seems to be reviving atavistic anxieties, some rational, others less so. Recent public-health crises, including the mad cow disease' scare, which lasted into 2000, have fuelled these fears. The public's rejection of GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) - verging on a crusade in some countries - tells its own story. As regards conflict, 2000 saw the Middle East peace process grind to a halt, and the Intifada resume. In Europe, the situation in Kosovo and Chechnya, both the scenes of fighting in 1999, stayed precarious. Peace and democracy did score some successes, however, particularly in Europe: the centre-left's victory in Croatia, sweeping former President Tudjman's party off the scene, the democratic party's triumph in Bosnia, and the fall of the Milosevic regime in Serbia.
