The fourth volume of the International Environmental Law Reports collects together approximately fifty decisions of national courts from twenty-six countries, all broadly related to international environmental law. The cases cover a range of environmental issues, from protected species and habitats to activities that impact on the environment - including mining, the construction of dams and waste disposal. The collection evidences different approaches to the relationship between domestic and international legal systems, and highlights many substantive and procedural environmental laws that are enjoying increasing recognition around the world. With around half of the cases having been translated into English from as many as twelve other languages, the volume provides valuable comparative insight into national legal perspectives on international environmental law.
Read more- Reports on major dispute settlement or judicial decisions on environment-related issues under GATT, the WTO, the Canada-USA Free Trade Agreement and the European Community
- Summaries and notes of the key cases, plus an invaluable digest of cases arranged by human right relied upon
- A valuable resource for students, researchers, practitioners, and academic, government and NGO libraries
Reviews & endorsements
'The significance of this collection is to highlight that there are very real connections between national and international environmental law, if one is only prepared to look for them. With often substantial excerpts from approximately 50 decisions of national countries from no fewer than 26 countries, this really is a goldmine of information.' Environmental Liability
