This book was released on 2018-05-31 with total page 858 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prevention is recognized as a cornerstone of international environmental law, but this principle remains abstract and elusive in terms of exactly what is required of states to prevent environmental harm. In this illuminating work, Leslie-Anne Duvic-Paoli addresses this issue by offering a systematic, comprehensive assessment in which she clarifies the rationale, content, and scope of the prevention principle while also placing it in a wider legal context. The book offers a detailed analysis of treaty law, custom codification works, and case law before culminating in a conceptualization of prevention based on three definitional traits: 1. Its anticipatory rationale; 2. Its due diligence content; and 3. Its wide spatial scope to protect the environment as a whole. This book should be read by anyone seeking to understand the evolving principle of prevention in international environmental law, and how it increasingly shares common ground with reparation in the arena of compliance control.

This book was released on 2002-02-27 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The controversial question of whether or not at present the precautionary principle is to be considered a norm of customary international law is the key theme of this work, which treats the issue as part of a broader discussion of the principle's legal status on the international plane. This discussion, In turn, Is put in perspective by an account of the short but remarkable history of the principle in international environmental law and policy. The greater part of this study consists of the mapping and analysis of state practice in respect of the precautionary principle. Pertinent treaties, declarations, decisions of international organizations and domestic instruments pass in review. The book then applies the generally accepted principles governing the formation of customary international law to this body of state practice. This manuscript was awarded the François Prize 2001 by the Netherlands Society of International Law / Netherlands Branch of the ILA. `[The precautionary principle] has been cited in an increasing number of legal proceedings, including those in the International Court of Justice, The International Tribunal For The Law of the Sea And The WTO Appellate Body, As well as in the courts of a large number of states, including the supreme courts of India and Canada.'

Download or read book Environmental Principles written by Nicolas de Sadeleer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-30 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the evolution of environmental principles from their origins as vague political slogans reflecting fears about environmental hazards to their embodiment in enforceable laws. Environmental law has always responded to risks posed by industrial society but the new generation of risks have required a new set of environmental principles, emerging from a combination of public fears, science, ethics, and established legal practice. This book shows how three of the most important principles of modern environmental law grew out of this new age of ecological risk: the polluter pays principle, the preventive principle, and the precautionary principle. Since the first edition was published, the principles of polluter-pays, prevention, and precaution have been encapsulated in a swathe of legislation at domestic and international level. Courts have been invoking environmental law principles in a broad range of cases, on issues including GMOs, conservation, investment, waste, and climate change. As a result, more States are paying heed to these principles as catalysts for improving their environmental laws and regulations. This edition will integrate to a greater extent the relationship between environmental principles and human rights. The book analyses new developments including the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, the case law of the European Court of Human Rights, which has continuously carved out environmental duties from a number of rights enshrined in the European Convention of Human Rights, and the implementation of the UNECE Convention on Access to Information.

Experts on this new frontier explore concepts and applications, including: Bringing international law up to par with many national laws to encourage industrial ecology principles. Integrating environmental costs into accounting systems. Understanding design for environment, industrial "metabolism," and sustainable development and how these concepts will affect the behavior of industrial and service firms. The volume looks at negative and positive aspects of technology and addresses treatment of waste as a raw material. This volume will be important to domestic and international policymakers, leaders in business and industry, environmental specialists, and engineers and designers.

Download or read book Precautionary Legal Duties and Principles of Modern International Environmental Law written by Harald Hohmann and published by Kluwer Law International. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first monograph on the precautionary principle reviews the basic environmental declarations of the most important international environmental organizations (UNO/UNEP, EEC, OECD, Council of Europe, etc.) and bodies (ILA, IDI, ILC). It also analyses the basic international agreements for the protection of the environment (water, land/species, air/atmosphere). This analysis covers the basic documents of international environmental law issued from 1911 to 1993. Its aim is to specify to what extent the precautionary principle is established in current international environmental law (customary law and conventions) and what its impact is. The following precautionary duties or principles are analysed: sustainable use and protection of nature also for its own sake; a duty to act in case of mere potential concern (and not only in case of suspicion of concrete danger); a duty of ecomanagement (at least permit requirements, monitoring, pollution control and minimal planning); a duty of regional cooperation (information, notification, consultation, joint research, etc.); a duty of comprehensive planning and to prevent cross-media pollution; a duty of impact assessment and standard setting. Also included into the analysis are: intergenerational equity, right to decent environment, sustainable development, nondiscrimination, equal transboundary access to judicial redress, transfer of technology, financial incentives and treatment at the source. the different approaches of traditional and modern international environmental law are reviewed together with the legal relevance of central provisions of important environmental declarations.

Download or read book International environmental laws and the concept of soft law written by Peterson Kelly and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2014-09-12 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Law - Miscellaneous, grade: A, University of Cambridge, language: English, abstract: Soft law regards to international norms that are deliberately non-binding in character, but are of great legal relevance. This has unique policies that lie between law and politics. Noticeable examples include resolutions by international organizations and global plans of actions of conduct. Soft laws operates under a different model from “hard law” that is associated with legally binding obligations. Furthermore, soft laws are characterized with less degrees of precision when compared with hard laws. Some scholars argue that soft law is ambiguous because its legal effects and its implication is often difficult to identify. Soft law mainly constitutes various part of the modern law-making process. International environmental regulations indicate a successful application of the soft law. Scholars believe that soft law outweighs the classical and familiar legal categories of law that form a platform of international regulations. Soft law is associated with various concerns; however, it has strategic mechanisms for imposing its proposals. The law is primarily structural in nature because it includes the existence and development of an organized network of permanent institutions at international and regional levels. Rio+20 conference provides a practical example of emphasize of soft law in the international environmental regulations. Studies indicate that the Rio+20 seminar on environmental sustainability did not create any successful agreements or commitments; however, it provided a global platform for discussing demanding issues in the effort to secure international sustainable development.
Download or read book Precautionary Rights and Duties of States written by Arie Trouwborst and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2006-06-01 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concluding that the precautionary principle embodies customary international law is one thing. Determining what this means is quite another. That challenge is met by this work, which resolves a number of crucial questions concerning the scope of this principle of international environmental law; the conditions triggering a right or duty to take precautionary action; the measures to be taken; the allocation of the burden of proof; and the role of socio-economic factors. These questions are dealt with one at a time through the charting and analysis of patterns and common denominators in the extensive (inter)national practice of states regarding the precautionary principle. The hard legal core of the principle is thus gradually exposed. In the process, a realistic and accessible account is given of how and to what extent this general principle can and does direct the actions of states in concrete instances. Ultimately, this work sets out what it takes to act in conformity with the precautionary principle under general international law, and will be of interest to anyone involved with international law and environmental protection.
