As conservation of the environment plays an increasingly important role within society, International Law and the Environment continues to be the essential read for students and practitioners alike. International Law and the Environment, while remaining rooted within the substantive law, places legislation on the protection of the environment firmly at the core of its current context. Written by three of the foremost experts in this field, the authors employ sharp and thorough analysis of the laws, allowing them to share their extensive knowledge and experience with the reader. The authors provide a unique perspective on the implications of International regulation, promoting a wider understanding of the pertinent issues impacting upon the law. This edition features extended treatment of Genetically Modified Organisms and biotechnology as well as the implications of ethics and the environment. It also benefits from new material covering the role of the International Maritime Organization and Non-Governmental Organizations, which continue to grow in their influence over legislative provisions. These revisions ensure that not only does International Law and the Environment remain at the forefront of developments but continues to provide the most complete coverage of the growing subject of environmental law.

International Law and the Environment assesses the basic principles, structure and effectiveness of the international legal system concerning the protection of the world's natural environment. It is hoped that the reader is thus provided with a clearer picture of the remarkable developments in environmental law brought about by recent global concern for the environment.     This second edition has been expanded and updated to take full account of the extensive developments in international environmental law which have occurred since the Rio Conference in 1992. There is a completely new chapter on international trade law and the environment, as well as new sections on sustainable development, climate change, biological diversity, regulation of the global environment, environmental impact assessment, and the precautionary principle. Coverage of human rights issues and private international law has been improved. Major new treaties on international watercourses, international fisheries, access to environmental justice and information, nuclear safety, and environmental liability are considered, and the growing jurisprudence of international tribunals is included. This new edition will be the most comprehensive account of the law available in any language, by two authors with many years experience of teaching and writing in this field.
