This research examines the growth and expansion of public interest environmental litigation (PIEL) in India and analyses the changes that are influencing the development of PIEL in Bangladesh and Pakistan. The necessity for this research lies in the rapid degradation of environment and the need of efficient environmental management in the three countries of the South Asian region. Here, we compare the legal systems of the three countries from the environmental point of view, discuss new ideas and directions and critically analyse the legal provisions that would help to apply environmental norms.

Reflecting a global trend, scores of countries have affirmed that their citizens are entitled to healthy air, water, and land and that their constitution should guarantee certain environmental rights. This book examines the increasing recognition that the environment is a proper subject for protection in constitutional texts and for vindication by constitutional courts. This phenomenon, which the authors call environmental constitutionalism, represents the confluence of constitutional law, international law, human rights, and environmental law. National apex and constitutional courts are exhibiting a growing interest in environmental rights, and as courts become more aware of what their peers are doing, this momentum is likely to increase. This book explains why such provisions came into being, how they are expressed, and the extent to which they have been, and might be, enforced judicially. It is a singular resource for evaluating the content of and hope for constitutional environmental rights.
"Depuis soixante ans, les dangers des pesticides pour la biodiversité et la santé sont avérés. Alors pourquoi notre modèle agricole et alimentaire reste-t-il toujours autant dopé aux pesticides? Les Monsanto Papers l'ont montré, les lobbyistes du secteur entretiennent savamment le doute quant à la gravité de leurs impacts environnementaux et sanitaires. Mais l'influence des industriels n'est que la face émergée d'une machinerie plus vaste de production de l'ignorance, reposant moins sur la manipulation que sur un déni collectif favorisé par les protocoles officiels de l'évaluation des risques. Face à l'ampleur des données et des dangers potentiels, il devient plus confortable d'ignorer des pans entiers de la connaissance plutôt que d'assumer le vertige de ses conséquences sur notre modèle agricole. Au terme de ce voyage au coeur de la fabrique de l'ignorance, l'auteur apporte des pistes et réflexions pour accélérer la transition vers une agriculture affranchie des pesticides"--Page 4 of cover.
