The Environment Through the Lens of International Courts and Tribunals
T.M.C. Asser Press (Verlag)
978-94-6265-506-5 (ISBN)
With the natural world under unprecedented pressure, the book highlights the challenges and opportunities presented by international dispute resolution for the protection of the environment and the further development of international environmental law. Presented in three parts, it addresses how individual courts and tribunals engage with environmental matters (Part I); how courts and tribunals are resolving key issues common to environmental litigation (Part II); and future opportunities and developments in the field (Part III).
The book is an essential one-stop-shop for students, practitioners and academics alike interested in international litigation and the protection of our global environment.
