(This collection of basic documents provides comprehensive...)
This collection of basic documents provides comprehensive coverage of the most important treaties and international instruments relating to environmental protection, including judicial and arbitral decisions. It additionally includes documents of general importance in international law, such as the UN Charter and the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. Materials on trade, human rights, and the law of war are excerpted where pertinent to the legal analysis of an environmental problem. For students and others engaged in research or practice in international environmental law, such as civil servants, diplomats, governmental officials, NGOs, practicing lawyers, and others, the volume serves as a convenient and thorough general reference.

The new edition of this innovative coursebook has been thoroughly updated and revised. The problem orientation of the first two editions has been retained, along with the detailed doctrinal exploration of international law that permits the book to be used in either an introductory international law course or an advanced class or seminar on environmental problems. Highlights of the third edition include expanded coverage of climate change; extensive use of international cases to illustrate key legal doctrines and concepts; and a new chapter that explores the concept of “ecological commons governance” and its significance for the future of international environmental law. Most of the problems in the book have been revised extensively, with entirely new problems on whaling, geoengineering, electronic waste exports, chemical exports (DDT and asbestos), environmental trade restrictions, nuclear safety, transboundary air pollution, biodiversity and more.

This text serves as a supplement to Weston, Falk, Charlesworth and Strauss's International Law and World Order, 4th Edition, which is truly international in its scope, making it as readily usable abroad as it is in the United States. The majority of material is organized around the conceptually divisible components of our otherwise indivisible world order: "war/peace," "human rights/social justice," "economic trade/development," and "earth/space environment." The remainder, the "constitutive/organic" and the "miscellaneous," reflect the truism that no typology, no matter how well conceived, can ever fully comprehend the diversity of human affairs.

While both the “environmental” and “international” dimensions of law school inquiry continue to flourish, a distinct offering in “international environmental law” is becoming prevalent. This coursebook begins with a relatively detailed exploration of the key doctrines, principles, and rules of “international law,” without which it is impossible to understand or apply “international environmental law.” It summarizes the applicability of state responsibility to environmental wrongs and presents a series of hypothetical problems bearing fact patterns that mirror the “real world.” Coursebook presents a simulated negotiation of a fictional draft protocol to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
