International Art Trade and Law / Le Commerce International de l’Art et le Droit

Part One of this Volume includes: - Questionnaire coveri...
The Habitats Directive in its EU Environmental Law Context
This book analyses the Habitats Directive; one of the most prominent piece of EU environmental legislation of the past decades. Seen by some as the cornerstone of Europe’s nature conservation policy, among other measures the Directive established the so-called "Natura 2000" ecological network, which covers more than 18% of the surface of the EU. However, despite the fact the Directive was adopted over twenty years ago only 17% of the protected habitats and species in Europe are being adequately protected while 10-60 % of animal species remain under threat. In light of the limited success and the contested nature of the Habitats Directive so far this book examines the successes and failures...
Climate Refugees
Current estimates of the numbers of people who will be forced from their homes as a result of climate change by the middle of the century range from 50 to 200 million. Therefore, even the most optimistic projections envisage a crisis of migration that will dwarf any we have seen so far. And yet attempts to develop legal mechanisms to deal with this impending crisis have reached an impasse that shows little sign of being overcome. This is in spite of the rapidly growing academic study and policy development in the area of climate change generally. 'Climate Refugees': Beyond the Legal Impasse? addresses a fundamental gap in academic literature and policy making – namely the legal ‘no-man...

European Landscape Convention
As a reflection of European identity and diversity, the landscape is our living natural and cultural heritage... Within the meaning of the European Landscape Convention the close links between the notion of landscape and human rights, democracy and sustainable development deserve to be highlighted. Recommendation CM/Rec(2017)7 of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe to member states on the contribution of the European Landscape Convention to the exercise of human rights and democracy with a view to sustainable development, emphasises the need to “consider the importance that quality and diversity of landscapes has for the minds and bodies of human beings, as well as for societies”. The forthcoming opening of the convention to non-European states provides a unique opportunity to reaffirm the universal nature of human rights. The implementation of the convention represents an effective contribution by the Council of Europe to realisation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, as adopted by the United Nations General Assembly.
Droit(s) et changements climatiques
Les changements climatiques, longtemps contestés, sont aujourd’hui scientifiquement démontrés. Leurs conséquences sur notre environnement et notre qualité de vie commencent à peine à être connues. Les connaissances scientifiques s’organisent, mais des champs entiers d’investigation restent inexplorés. Des controverses existent sur les solutions à mettre en œuvre. Des politiques publiques émergent au niveau des États et de la communauté internationale, mais sans commune mesure avec les enjeux soulevés. Cet ouvrage rassemble une trentaine contributions permettant de confronter les connaissances actuelles sur le droit en lien avec les changements climatiques et une réflexion stratégique sur leurs conséquences pour les populations et les réponses des acteurs sociaux et institutionnels. Il est articulé autour des thèmes suivants : Le droit du changement climatique : droit de l’adaptation et adaptation du droit, Les droits des migrants environnementaux : quels migrants pour quelle protection ? ; Le droit et la gestion du patrimoine ; Le droit de la mise en œuvre du droit : responsabilités et effectivité du droit.
