Book Synopsis Transboundary Harm in International Law by : Rebecca M. Bratspies
Download or read book Transboundary Harm in International Law written by Rebecca M. Bratspies and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-08-14 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reveals the many harms which flow across the ever-more porous sovereign borders of a globalising world. These harms expose weaknesses in the international legal regime built on sovereignty of nation states. Using the Trail Smelter Arbitration, one of the most cited cases in international environmental law, this book explores the changing nature of state responses to transboundary harm. Taking a critical approach, the book examines the arbitration's influence on international law generally, and international environmental law specifically. In particular, the book explores whether there are lessons from Trail Smelter that are useful for resolving transboundary challenges confronting the international community. The book collects the commentary of a distinguished set of international law scholars who consider the history of the Trail Smelter arbitration, its significance for international environmental law, its broader relationship to international law, and its resonance in fields beyond the environment.
Book Synopsis Transboundary Harm in International Law by : Rebecca M. Bratspies
Download or read book Transboundary Harm in International Law written by Rebecca M. Bratspies and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-14 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Russian media are widely seen to be increasingly controlled by the government. Leaders buy up opposing television channels and pour money in as fast as it hemorrhages out. As a result, TV news has become narrower in scope and in the range of viewpoints which it reflects: leaders demand assimilation and shut down dissenting stations. Using original and extensive focus group research and new developments in cognitive theory, Ellen Mickiewicz unveils a profound mismatch between the complacent assumption of Russian leaders that the country will absorb their messages, and the viewers on the other side of the screen. This is the first book to reveal what the Russian audience really thinks of its news and the mental strategies they use to process it. The focus on ordinary people, rather than elites, makes a strong contribution to the study of post-communist societies and the individual's relationship to the media.

Book Synopsis Procedure and Substance in International Environmental Law by : Jutta Brunnée
Download or read book Procedure and Substance in International Environmental Law written by Jutta Brunnée and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-02-22 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interplay between procedure and substance has not been a major point of contention for international environmental lawyers. Arguably, the topic’s low profile is due to the mostly uncontroversial nature of the field’s distinction between procedural and substantive obligations. Furthermore, the vast majority of environmental law scholars and practitioners have tended to welcome the procedural features of multilateral environmental agreements and their potential to promote regime evolution and effectiveness. However, recent developments have served to put the spotlight on certain aspects of the procedure substance topic. ICJ judgments revealed ambiguity on aspects of the customary law framework on transboundary harm prevention that the field had thought largely settled. In turn, in the treaty context, the Paris Agreement’s retreat from binding emissions targets and its decisive turn towards procedure reignited concerns in some quarters over the “proceduralization” of international environmental law. The two developments invite a closer look at the respective roles of, and the relationship between, procedure and substance in this field and, more specifically, in the context of harm prevention under customary and treaty law.
Book Synopsis Liability for Transboundary Pollution at the Intersection of Public and Private International Law by : Guillaume Laganière
Download or read book Liability for Transboundary Pollution at the Intersection of Public and Private International Law written by Guillaume Laganière and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-24 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on how public and private international law address civil liability for transboundary pollution. In public international law, civil liability treaties promote the implementation of minimum procedural standards in domestic tort law. This approach implicitly relies on private international law to facilitate civil litigation against transboundary polluters. Yet this connection remains poorly understood. Filling the gap, this book engages in a meaningful dialogue between the two areas and explores how domestic private international law can reflect the policies developed in international environmental law. It begins with an investigation of civil liability in international environmental law. It then identifies preferable rules of civil jurisdiction, foreign judgments and choice of law for environmental damage, using Canadian private international law as a case study and making extensive references to European law. Liability for transboundary pollution is a contentious issue of the law, both in scholarship and practice: international lawyers both private and public as well as environmental lawyers will welcome this important work.

Book Synopsis Transboundary Freshwater Ecosystems in International Law by : Ruby Moynihan
Download or read book Transboundary Freshwater Ecosystems in International Law written by Ruby Moynihan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-14 with total page 685 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A global water crisis with far-reaching and interconnected environmental, social, health and economic impacts threatens the world. Healthy ecosystems and ecosystem services are degrading, and access to a sustainable water supply is increasingly inequitable both within and between States. This book demonstrates how to overcome the global freshwater ecosystem crisis by matching the scientific recommendations with an international legal framework fit for the task, which re-orientates international water law towards a stronger ecosystem approach that also protects vulnerable societies. It illustrates how to understand the fragmented legally binding and non-binding instruments of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe environmental treaties as one coherent legal regime, which contributes to strengthening general rules and principles of the law concerning transboundary freshwater ecosystems. With the recent global opening of the UNECE regime, this book explores its potential role within the European region, Central Asia, Caucasus, Africa, the Middle East and beyond.

Book Synopsis Transboundary Environmental Interference and the Origin of State Liability by : Lefeber
Download or read book Transboundary Environmental Interference and the Origin of State Liability written by Lefeber and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2023-09-14 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On-going deterioration of the state of the environment and the continuous risk of an environmental disaster has forced society to reconsider its environmental and developmental objectives. For economic and environmental reasons, the costs of prevention and reparation of environmental harm should be channelled to the polluter. However, such channelling may run counter to legal principles. This work scrutinizes this field of tension between economic and legal principles at state level. It provides a unique analysis of traditional thinking on state liability for transboundary harm and the theories which have challenged it since the proliferation of hazardous activities in the 1960s. The author favours a return to traditional thinking, but has an eye for the theories that challenged it with the aim of safeguarding the compensation of victims of transboundary harm.

Book Synopsis Corporate Liability for Transboundary Environmental Harm by : Peter Gailhofer
Download or read book Corporate Liability for Transboundary Environmental Harm written by Peter Gailhofer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-14 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book aims to elaborate on the legal prerequisites to establish the liability of corporations for transboundary environmental harm, not only by identifying existing liability rules, principles and standards but also by analysing their potential for further legal development. The authors consider international and transboundary liability law to currently be an underutilised tool for international environmental protection. The book seeks to address this by exploring what is needed in terms of legislative action and identifying options for judicial pliability, thereby providing an important legal contribution in furthering the development of an effective international and transnational environmental liability law regime.
