Pratiquement inconnu jusqu'au milieu des années 90, le « principe de précaution » est devenu, avec l'affaire de la vache folle, une expression populaire. On le brandit désormais comme le talisman dont la seule invocation devrait protéger les citoyens contre tous les risques qui les menacent, et l'on invoque son application dans les domaines les plus hétérogènes (climat, couche d'ozone, OGM, santé, jusqu'aux conditions d'utilisation des armes sur les champs de bataille), au point que ce principe, apparu dans les années 70, devient synonyme de politique de sécurité. Il n'y aura bientôt plus personne qui ne se croira obligé d'agir par précaution. Cet ouvrage se propose de clarifier ce principe en réunissant trois expertises, économique, juridique et philosophique.

"Cases of Conflict focuses on times of dispute as important moments in the development of international environmental law. Conflict tests international law--both its content and its relevance become clearer in times of controversy--but conflict can also help shape the law. Drawing from a growing body of scholarship connecting the fields of international relations and international law, Cases of Conflict focuses on six transboundary disputes to demonstrate how these disputes have influenced the development of international environmental law and policy. Embracing their rich detail and real-world messiness, this book looks to develop a better understanding of the true content and potential of international environmental law."--

This collection of essays examines the development and application of environmental laws and the relationship between public laws and international law. Notions of good governance, transparency and fairness in decision-making are analysed within the area of the law perceived as having the greatest potential to address today's global environmental concerns. International trends, such as free trade and environmental markets, are also observed to be infiltrating national laws. Together, the essays illustrate the idea that in the context of environmental problems being dynamic and environmental changes appearing suddenly, laws become difficult to design and effect. Typically, they are also devised within a conflicted setting. It is in this changeable and discordant context that environmental discourses such as precaution, justice, risk, equity, security, citizenship and markets contribute to legal responses, present legal opportunities or hinder progress.

International environmental law has come of age, yet the global environment continues to deteriorate. The challenge of the twenty-first century is to reverse this process by ensuring that governments comply fully with their obligations, and progressively assume stricter duties to preserve the environment. This book is the first comprehensive examination of international environmental litigation. Analysing the spectrum of adjudicative bodies that are engaged in the resolution of environmental disputes, it offers a reappraisal of their relevance in contemporary contexts. The book critiques the contribution that arbitral awards and judicial decisions have made to the development of environmental law, and considers the looming challenges for international litigation. With its unique combination of scholarly analysis and practical discussion, this work is especially relevant to an era in which environmental matters are increasingly being brought before international jurisdictions, and will be of great interest to students and scholars engaged with this vital field.

De procedures voor veel ruimtelijke projecten, zoals de aanleg van wegen, windmolenparken en woonwijken, vergen veel tijd. Sommigen menen dat die procedures ook te complex en te juridisch zijn. De bestuursrechter krijgt daarbij het verwijt overheidsbesluiten over ruimtelijke projecten te formeel te benaderen en te weinig tot inhoudelijke en finale geschilbeslechting te komen. Daarom is er kritiek op het omgevingsrecht, het milieu en de natuurbescherming. In zijn afscheidscollege constateert Niels Koeman dat binnen het omgevingsrecht sprake is van een spanning. In de ruimtelijke ordening zijn d

One of the most significant impacts of climate change is migration. Yet, to date, climate-induced migrants are falling within what has been defined by some as a ‘protection gap’. This book addresses this issue, first by identifying precisely where the gap exists, by reviewing the relevant legal tools that are available for those who are currently, and who will in the future be displaced because of climate change. The authors then address the relevant actors; the identity of those deserving protection (displaced individuals), as well as other bearers of rights (migration-hosting states) and obligations (polluting states) The authors also address head-on the contentious topic of definitions, concluding with the provocative assertion that the term ‘climate refugees’ is indeed correct and should be relied upon. The second part of the book looks to the future by advocating specific legal and institutional pathways. Notably, the authors support the use of international environmental law as the most adequate and suitable regime for the regulation of climate refugees. With respect to the role of institutions, the authors propose a model of ‘cross-governance’, through which a more inclusive and multi-faceted protection regime could be achieved. Addressing the regulation of climate refugees through a unique collaboration between a refugee lawyer and an environmental lawyer, this book will be of great interest to scholars and professionals in fields including international law, environmental studies, refugee studies and international relations.
