Publisher's Synopsis
Defending the Environment promotes the use and awareness of several different international, regional, and domestic strategies designed to safeguard the environment and public health.
The text emphasizes practice as well as theory; unlike works devoted exclusively to theoretical aspects of international environmental law and policy, the authors provide the what, how, when, where, and why for resolving environmental and public health problems in front of international courts, tribunals, commissions, committees, secretariats, and, at times, their domestic counterparts.
This is an indispensible handbook for anyone who needs to be aware of the important legal and political strategies made available to them by various instruments of international law.
Published under the Transnational Publishers imprint.
