Implications Of The Copenhagen Accord For Global Climate Governance, David B. Hunter Jan 2010

Implications Of The Copenhagen Accord For Global Climate Governance, David B. Hunter

Sustainable Development Law & Policy

Climate advocates are increasingly raising specific climate change concerns before domestic courts, human rights tribunals, international commissions and other national and international decisionmaking bodies. Win or lose, these litigation strategies are significantly changing and enhancing the public dialogue around climate change. This article discusses the awareness-building impacts of climate litigation as well as related impacts such strategies may have on the development of climate law and policy. The article argues that litigation's focus on specific victims facing immediate threats from climate change has increased the political will to address climate change both internationally and nationally. It has also shifted the …

Moving Global Health Law Upstream: A Critical Appraisal Of Global Health Law As A Tool For Health Adaptation To Climate Change, Lindsay Wiley Jan 2010

Moving Global Health Law Upstream: A Critical Appraisal Of Global Health Law As A Tool For Health Adaptation To Climate Change, Lindsay Wiley

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

The Katanga Complementarity Decisions, Susana Sacouto Jan 2010

The Katanga Complementarity Decisions, Susana Sacouto

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

On 25 September 2009, the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued a seminal decision on the subject of complementarity in the case Prosecutor v. Germain Katanga.

While this decision is defensible under the language of the Rome …
