Handbook of European Environmental and Climate Law
This Handbook of European Environment and Climate Law is the 2nd edition of the work previously titled Handbook of European Environment Law. It is associated with the Traité de droit européen de l’environnement et du climat and the Manuel de droit européen de l’environnement et du climat, both in the French language and published in the same collection, and with which it shares a same structure. The Traité provides a more in-depth approach, with further historic, policy and caselaw considerations, and more complete references. The introduction in the book’s title of the climate dimension, while it was already quite present in the previous edition, is testimony to its growing import...
Navigating the New Contents of International Public Policy
"This Dossier XXI of the ICC Institute of World Business Law explores how compliance with environment and human rights requirements may trigger legal responses based on the various concepts of international public policy. On the one hand, there is an unprecedented movement towards an intensification of corporate governance and mandatory legal rules - international, regional and domestic - with respect to environmental (including climate-related) and human rights protection. On the other hand, these legal rules may be of such imperiousness as to qualify as international public policy, but probably not all of them with the same intensity, not independently of such factors as the responsible be...
ESG and Disputes
ASA Special Series ‘We must measure what we value, not just value what is simple to measure.’ This statement from the US White House encapsulates the global trend dubbed ESG – an insistence on attending to the natural environment, social values, and responsible governance in business affairs. A salient aspect of this trend is the ‘explosion’ of human rights and environment-related disputes that have come to the fore on the international legal landscape. In this timely and crucially important volume, distinguished jurists, representatives of governments and NGOs, and in-house counsel identify and analyse the sources of ESG-related litigation and arbitration, providing an extensive t...
La responsabilité du producteur du fait des déchets
L’idée centrale du colloque est suscitée par le volte-face effectué par le législateur de l’Union, lors de l’adoption de la nouvelle directive-cadre sur les déchets, la directive 2008/98, à propos de l’obligation du producteur du produit à l’origine des déchets désormais optionnelle pour les États membres. Récemment propulsées aux premiers rangs des préoccupations des intéressés par la jurisprudence Van de Walle, les répercussions possibles en avaient été partiellement mises en lumière par les arrêts subséquents dans les affaires Thames Water Utilities et Commune de Mesquer (Erika). Que cette jurisprudence soit en quelque sorte infirmée par le législateur, ap...

International Litigation
The new Fourth Revised Edition of International Litigation provides U.S. courts practitioners with a step-by-step guide through international litigation, from pre-litigation considerations (obtaining foreign counsel, jurisdiction, choice of forum, etc.) to enforcement of judgments and arbitral awards. Supplemented by practical checklists and strategies throughout, solutions are offered to pressing questions: Does arbitration or litigation afford the better chance for success? What contract drafting, jurisdictional, or enforcement of judgment issues are posed when a foreign sovereign is a party? What Act of State immunities apply to sensitive sovereign or political issues? What motions to dismiss or other procedural issues should be anticipated? Can international differences in service of process, evidence gathering, and jurisdictional points improve or jeopardize the chances for success?
