La dégradation mondiale de l’environnement est rapide, profonde, multiforme. Le droit international de l’environnement ne peut pas, à lui seul, protéger l’environnement mais, aujourd’hui, sans lui on ne peut pas protéger l’environnement. Comme étudiant, enseignant, chercheur, membre d’association ou comme citoyen n’est-il pas important de comprendre les forces et les faiblesses de ce droit ? Dans une première partie sont analysés les caractères du droit international de l’environnement à travers sept chapitres : nature et objet, histoire et acteurs, enjeux et contexte, sources formelles et techniques juridiques, institutions et juridictions, application et sanctions,...

International Environmental Law offers a concise, conceptually clear, and legally rigorous introduction to contemporary international environmental law and practice. The book covers all major environmental agreements, paying particular attention to their underlying structure, main legal provisions, and practical operation. It blends legal and policy analysis, making extensive reference to the jurisprudence and scholarship, and addressing the interconnections with other areas of international law, including human rights, humanitarian law, trade and foreign investment. The material is structured into four sections - foundations, substantive regulation, implementation, and influence on other areas of international law - which help the reader to navigate the different areas of international environmental law. Each chapter includes charts summarising the main components of the relevant legal frameworks and provides a detailed bibliography. Suitable for practicing and academic international lawyers who want an accessible, up-to-date introduction to contemporary international environmental law, as well as non-lawyers seeking a concise and clear understanding of the subject.
Peuples et sociétés sont dépossédés de leurs moyens d'existence à travers le monde par la destruction de leur environnement. Face à cet écocide, comment repenser les droits de l'homme ? L'écocide (fait de détruire la " maison Terre ") n'est pas un crime de plus, s'ajoutant à toutes les autres atteintes aux droits humains. Il est désormais le crime premier, celui qui ruine les conditions mêmes d'habitabilité de la Terre. D'ores et déjà, les dérèglements en cours attisent injustices et tensions géopolitiques tandis que ceux qui saccagent la planète restent impunis. Aussi est-il urgent de revendiquer de nouvelles formes de responsabilité et de solidarité. Urgent de redéfi...
Le régime international climatique produit des effets juridiques à l'intérieur des États membres et même à l'égard des États tiers traitant avec l'organisation européenne. En effet, les règles juridiques internationales relatives à la lutte contre les changements climatiques, ont force obligatoire dans les ordres juridiques nationaux où elles requièrent une application rigoureuse. Il s'ensuit que le droit de l'UE, de par son caractère supranational, est devenu l'instrument d'effectivité et d'efficacité du droit conventionnel international du climat.
The most important discoveries of the 20th century exist not in the realm of science, medicine, or technology, but rather in the dawning awareness of the earths limits and how those limits will affect human evolution. Humanity has reached a crossroad where various ecological catastrophes meet what some call sustainable development. While a great deal of attention has been given to what governments, corporations, utilities, international agencies, and private citizens can do to help in the transition to sustainability, little thought has been given to what schools, colleges, and universities can do. Ecological Literacy asks how the discovery of finiteness affects the content and substance of education. Given the limits of the earth, what should people know and how should they learn it?

By combining a method – comparative studies – with an ongoing process – the internationalization of law, that is, its extension beyond national borders – this Chair looks to the future, as uncertain as it may be. Of course current events tragically highlight the absence of a real legal world order. The collective security system of the Charter of the United Nations has shown its weaknesses and law has been unable to disarm force. Conversely, however, force cannot prevent this unprecedented extension of law, to the extent that no State can lastingly override it. In spite of appearances, it is no longer possible today to ignore the superposition of regional, national and global standards, nor the over-abundance of both national and international institutions and judges, with expanded jurisdiction. The new realities are causing law to evolve into complex and highly unstable interactive systems that are perhaps more symptomatic of profound change than of the defeat of law: we are faced with a change in the very conception of the legal order.
This Book tells an exciting, and intriguing story of my training, experiences, and relationships, as a U S Army Ranger in the Vietnam War during 1969 to 1971 while performing recon-missions Behind Enemy Lines. The story takes you on a journey from the physical war in Vietnam to the spiritual warfare that goes on daily for your soul. The spiritual uplifting message within its pages ignites your faith into a blazing fire. You come alive. To survive in Vietnam and come home alive required elite training, strong belief in our training, mental and physical repetition of the training, and real true relationships. If we got distracted, failed to pay attention, disobeyed, ignored, or forgot what we ...
