International Law and Sustainable Development: Principles and Practice de Nico J. Schrijver

International Law and Sustainable Development: Principles and Practice: Developments in International Law, cartea 51

Editat de Nico J. Schrijver, Friedl Weiss
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 aug 2004
The concept of ‘sustainable development’ has attracted considerable attention in recent years and has become of pivotal importance, not only in scientific and political discourse but also, increasingly, in the practice of states and of relevant international organisations.
Since 1992 and within a remarkably short period of time, sustainable development has been endorsed and recognised in a number of instruments of international law. Thus, it is incorporated in various environmental treaties as well as in international fisheries agreements, the 1995 Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and EU law. Sustainable development and related concepts also feature in a number of international judicial decisions of the 1990s, for example those of the International Court of Justice and the WTO Appellate Body.
The chapters assembled in this book illustrate various aspects of efforts of policy makers, regional and national interest groups to invoke and rely upon international law for the realisation of the objective of sustainable development. They deal in particular with recent examples of the practice of states and of relevant international organisations, especially in such areas as international trade, foreign investment regulation, human rights and natural resources and waste management. Furthermore, some chapters are dedicated to a review of relevant practice at the regional and national level.

Recenzii

"The adoption by the editors of the view that sustainable development has ‘graduated’ from a ‘political concept to being a principle possessing a widely recognized legal core’ creates an ideal foundation from which to focus on the practice and integration of sustainable development in the wider context of the international community." – Angela Williams, in: Environmental Liability, 2005
"In this volume, Schrijver and Weiss have collected a group of nearly thirty senior and young scholars from around the world to examine the evolution of sustainable development law and practice. Their work provides a timely evaluation of how the pursuit of sustainable development as a hybrid of environmental protection and economic development has synergistically advanced the interests of its dual components.
The editors’ deep experience is reflected in their concise overviews of each section. Select chapters provide an incisive view on adopting, implementing and enforcing principles of sustainable development." – Janet Martinez, Lecturer, in: Stanford Law School, 2005
"This masterly written collection, from many experts, focuses on the efforts of policy makers, as well as regional and national interest groups, to invoke International Law as the tool for realizing the objectives of sustainable development. The authors provide a rich vein of recent State and organizational practices that can be profitably mined by both academics and practitioners exploring contemporary perspectives." – in: ASIL Newsletter UN21 Interest Group, June 2005
