Greening International Law [Hardcover]

Philippe Sands (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 1994

From global warming discussions at the Earth Summit in Rio to the ozone depletion guidelines developed at the Montreal Protocols, environmental issues have taken center stage in forming international law. Yet, as we come to realize the importance of developing international environmental standards, we find that the ability of international institutions to establish and enforce effective policies remains largely untested and ripe for debate. Greening International Law offers the most up-to-date, comprehensive, and inclusive look at the proposals, conflicts, and solutions that have rocked the international legal community in the past years.
