Edited by Karen Hulme, Professor of Law, University of Essex, UK

‘This book is the perfect introduction and research tool for all of us that wish to understand the most pertinent issues relating to law of the environment and armed conflict. The compilation is skilfully composed by one of the absolute authorities in the field, Professor Karen Hulme. Through the selection of articles she takes the reader on a historic journey, unveiling the contemporary legal and political context, including the connection between international disarmament law and the law of armed conflict. The contributions discussing the example of the Iraq-Kuwait War – brings the reader into the modern discourse and it is skilfully complemented by contributions on the role of customary international law, gaps and possibilities in current law as well as responsibility for wartime environmental damage. In the last section of the book, Professor Hulme ties it all together by, once again, including contributions that are placed in a modern legal and political context - as well as a look into the future. This is indeed a book to welcome.’
