Liability For Injurious Consequences To The Global Climate, Sudha Rp Rao

LLM Theses and Essays

Preservation of the environment is a major concern in the modern era. This paper explains the scientific basis of the global warning theory and the potential impacts of climate change on the environment. When regulating the causes of global warming, accountability and liability arise in the areas of both prevention of future emissions of green house gases into the atmosphere and remedial measures to clean up the damage that has already occurred. The responsibility for the costs in these areas are examined as well as the International Law Commission’s work on “Liability for Injurious Consequences Arising out of Acts not …

The Global Loss Of Biological Diversity: A Perspective, In The Context Of The Controversy Over Intellectual Property Rights, Ajay K. Sharma

LLM Theses and Essays

All nations have a stake in preserving biodiversity for ethical, medical, and economic reasons. This thesis discusses objections to the Convention on Biological Diversity and argues for establishing international agreements that set conservation standards to which all parties can be held accountable. These agreements should also include internationally accepted standards for the protection of intellectual property rights.

Nafta And The Environment: A Trade-Friendly Approach, Bradly J. Condon

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Although the North American Free Trade Agreement, (NAFTA), contains more detailed environmental provisions than any previous trade agreement,' only some of them are mandatory. These mandatory NAFTA environmental rules purport to prevent the use of environmental policy instruments as disguised barriers to trade. Since most human activities have some impact on the environment, a vast array of government regulation could potentially be characterized as relating to the environment. This fact increases the risk that domestic industries will exploit political discretion over environmental policy implementation to put foreign competitors at a disadvantage by raising non-tariff barriers to trade. It is important …

Using Trade To Enforce International Environmental Law: Implications For United States Law, Mary Ellen O'Connell

Journal Articles

The United States has enviable domestic environmental protection laws. However, good domestic environmental protection raises two concerns: effectiveness and competitiveness. In response to these two problems of environmental protection—effectiveness and competitiveness—members of Congress introduced over thirty bills in 1990 to amend U.S. trade laws. The bills were designed to either press other states to adopt environmental protection standards similar to the United States own or to at least minimize the competitive disadvantage for U.S. business inherent in U.S. regulations. The bills took one of two approaches: either they aimed at restricting access to U.S. markets for those states failing to …

Mesoamerican Biological Corridor: The Legal Framework For An Integrated, Regional System Of Protected Areas, Thomas T. Ankersen

UF Law Faculty Publications

This article first briefly examines the historical basis for the recent movement toward regional environmental integration in Central America. Part II discusses the biological, economic and cultural rationales for a regional, protected-areas system. With this background, Part III reviews the current international law framework for biodiversity conservation. Part IV examines the extent to which existing models of international and regional cooperation incorporate modern scientific principles of conservation biology, such as island biogeography, into their legal framework. Finally, Part V surveys alternative international law approaches for an integrated, regional, protected-areas system to achieve the region's stated goal of preserving an “effective …

Panel Iii: International Law, Global Environmentalism, And The Future Of American Environmental Policy, Thomas W. Merrill

Faculty Scholarship

From an American perspective, environmental law has undergone two bouts of centralization in the past three decades. Round one occurred in the 1970's, as Congress federalized vast areas of environmental law that had previously been the province of state and local governments. Round two, which is still in an incipient phase, represents the effort to internationalize environmental law.

The question I would like to address is what can we learn from round one about what is likely to happen in round two. My answer, in a nutshell, is that the primary driving force behind the federalization of environmental law in …
