This book was released on 2023-09-29 with total page 1370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The State of Qatar, the Asian-African Legal Consultative Committee (AALCC), in cooperation with the Secretariat of the United Nations and Frère Cholmeley (Paris) organised the Conference on International Legal Issues Arising under the United Nations Decade of International Law in Doha, Qatar on 22--25 March 1994. Around 60 speakers and 200 participants from more than 40 nations freely expressed their views on the progressive development of international law and its codification with a view to States' actions in the future adhering to the principles of international law as enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations. The subjects dealt with by the Conference had one thing in common: they were all topical issues or, in French, `des questions d'actualité', and will remain thus throughout the United Nations Decade of International Law. The various themes were Environmental Law, the Law of the Sea, the Settlement of Disputes, Humanitarian Law, and the Rio Conference, Post-Rio and the New International Economic Order. This book which contains the Conference proceedings will be of great interest to lawyers specializing in international law. The book is not only a photograph of some very important issues as they existed and were perceived in 1994, it will also serve as a reference book and a unique tool which will be indispensable to understanding some of the most crucial legal problems with which the world community is faced today.
Download or read book Protecting the Environment During Armed Conflict written by Elizabeth Mrema and published by UNEP/Earthprint. This book was released on 2009 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report inventories and analyses the range of international laws that protect the environment during armed conflict. With a view to identifying the current gaps and weaknesses in this system, the authors examine the relevant provisions within four bodies of international law - environmental humanitarian (IHL), international criminal law (ICL), international environmental law (IEL), and international human rights law (HRL). The report concludes with twelve concrete recommendations on ways to strengthen this legal framework and its enforcement. The Environment and Natural Resources are crucial for building and consolidating peace, it is urgent that their protection in times of armed conflict be strengthened. There can be no durable peace if the natural resources that sustain livelihoods are damaged or destroyed. This report provides a basis upon which Member States can draw upon to clarify, expand and enforce international law on environmental protection in times of war.

This book was released on 2020-07-31 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La destruction de l'environnement en période de conflit armé est ancienne, mais elle a pris une ampleur démesurée. C'est avec la guerre du Vietnam que cette destruction est devenue un objet essentiel de la stratégie militaire. L'opération Ranch Hand, par laquelle l'aviation étasunienne déversa de l'herbicide (l'Agent orange) sur les forêts vietnamiennes en est l'illustration. Par la suite, d'autres conflits auront recours à des techniques modifiant les conditions environnementales du champ de bataille. S'il est impossible d'éviter toute dégradation au cours du conflit, la préservation de l'environnement peut-elle être érigée en priorité ? N'est-il pas parfois nécessaire de sacrifier l'écosystème au bénéfice des populations ou de la victoire ? Quel équilibre trouver entre les nécessités militaires, humanitaires et la protection de l'environnement ?

Download or read book La protection de l environnement en temps de conflit arm written by Karine Mollard-Bannelier and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manipulé par l'homme à des fins militaires ou victime des effets collatéraux de la guerre, l'environnement sort toujours blessé des conflits armés. Les conséquences environnementales graves de certains conflits, internes ou internationaux, passés ou actuels, posent avec acuité la question de la protection de l'environnement durant ces conflits. Adoptant une démarche positiviste, cette étude examine dans un premier temps comment le droit de la guerre protège aujourd'hui l'environnement. Elle se penche ensuite sur le droit de la paix pour examiner dans quelle mesure les règles, toujours plus nombreuses, du droit international de l'environnement continuent à s'appliquer en temps de conflit armé. L'analyse est complétée par un examen de la mise en oeuvre de la responsabilité internationale dans ce domaine: de la responsabilité étatique, tout d'abord, et des différents problèmes que pose la réparation du préjudice écologique; de la responsabilité individuelle aussi, car certaines évolutions récentes ouvrent des perspectives tout à fait nouvelles sur la répression des auteurs des "crimes écologiques". Deux questions essentielles se posent de façon récurrente tout au long de cette réflexion. La première concerne la difficile conciliation entre les inéluctables "nécessités militaires" et la recherche d'une protection efficace de l'envronnement. La seconde a trait aux finalités même de cette protection. Les tensions entre l'approche anthropocentrique et l'approche intrinsèque de la protection de l'environnement sont en effet encore plus vives en temps de guerre. L'étude essaye alors d' apprécier si ces deux approches sont vouées à demeurer conflictuelles ou si elles peuvent au contraire se compléter utilement
