Summary |

This leading textbook has been revised to include new developments since 1994, including all the international case-law (ICJ, ITLOS, WTO, human rights, etc.) and new international legislation (genetically modified organisms, the Kyoto Protocol, oil pollution, chemicals, etc.). It is the most comprehensive account of the principles and rules relating to the protection of the environment and the conservation of natural resources.
