Waad Abualrob: Protection of the Environment under International Law during Occupation, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

This book examines the relationship between International Environmental Law and Human Rights Law regarding the protection of the environment in times of occupation.

Times of occupation create a tangible threat to the environment, alongside human, animal, and plant rights. This book uses international law to grapple with unprecedented environmental challenges, from water, air and soil pollution and severe damage to natural resources to the complexities of regulating emerging environmental challenges during extraordinary situations. Using international case studies alongside the prominent and evolving role of international law agreements, in particular Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs), this book offers a comprehensive analysis of the legal tools available to navigate environmental challenges under occupation. The book also discusses occupying power obligations under public international law and the demands of protecting the environment in occupied territory.

The book provides a valuable resource for researchers in the field of environmental law, human rights law, and humanitarian law.
