The quality of water, air and soil continues to decline. Poverty, population growth and unregulated industry combine to create pollution on an unprecedented scale. Yet despite overwhelming support for the Rio Declaration in 1992, international response to the crisis in the environment has been piecemeal and uneven. The developing canon of international environmental law is of vital importance to lawyers, decision-makers and environmental advocates. Practical lessons can be drawn from the range of approaches being taken to such universal issues as pollution control, liability and waste management. Familiarity with international case law and judicial decision-making can support and develop legal argument. International Environmental Law and Regulations draws together expert practitioners from Argentina, Belgium, Canada, England & Wales, France, Greece, Italy, Mexico, Norway, Scotland and Singapore to provide a statement of the progress of environmental regulation in their jurisdictions. The practical analysis includes coverage of: - the application of international and Community law
- national, regional and local regulation
- leading case law
- trends in judicial decision-making
- civil and criminal liability
As a source of instructive information and ideas, the book will be of value to specialists in environmental law, in-house lawyers in industry, environmental advocates and academic lawyers.
