This book explores the seminal importance of the first UN Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm 1972 - the Stockholm Conference - for the development of international environmental law. By bringing together world leading experts from academia and legal practice, the book charts the development of international environmental law in the 50 years since 1972 in the areas of nature and biodiversity, chemicals and waste, oceans and water, and atmosphere and climate, and with respect to structures and institutions, consumption and production, and human rights and participatory rights in environmental matters. It analyses how the ideas and concepts of the Stockholm Conference have influenced this development and explores the novel ideas that have emerged since then. It describes the approaches of the developed and developing countries in this process and the relationship between international environmental law and other areas of law, such as the law of the sea and international economic law.

Human use of marine resources is changing, as is the marine environment itself, and our understanding of marine ecosystems and biodiversity is developing. This open access book explores the challenges this raises for legal regimes pertaining to the oceans and their domestic implementation. It engages with developments in areas such as bioprospecting, fisheries, deep-sea mining and shipping. Several case studies discuss genetic resources and the implications of the new UN Agreement on marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction. A team of experts suggest new approaches to questions of interpretation, established management principles, and institutional relationships. Not limiting their scope to the international law of the sea, they also examine international environmental law, intellectual property rights, and domestic law. The book broadens the scholarly debate and provides a timely reflection on the dramatic policy developments currently happening in the field of marine resource governance. It will be welcomed by lawyers, NGOs and policymakers.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

The traditional conception of security as national security against military threats has changed radically since the adoption of the UN Charter in 1945. The perceived nature and sources of threats have been widened as well as the objects of protection, now including individuals, societies, the environment as such and the whole globe. In International Law and Changing Perceptions of Security the contributors reflect on whether and how changing concepts and conceptions of security have affected different fields of international law, such as the use of force, the law of the sea, human rights, international environmental law and international humanitarian law. The authors of this book have been inspired by Professor Said Mahmoudi to which this Liber Amoricum is dedicated.

Regulation of Risk provides comprehensive insight into regulation of risk in transport, trade and environment. Contributions provide national, regional and international perspectives on pressing questions: How is risk conceived in light of novel technological deployment, climate change, political upheaval, evolving geopolitics, and the COVID-19 pandemic? What legal tools such as contractual frameworks and governance structures are available to manage the changing landscape of risk? This book highlights the importance of dialogue and collaborative decision-making on risk between policymakers, institutions, societal stakeholders and the scientific community.

Stora förändringar inom EU-rätten i allmänhet (främst genom Lissabonfördraget) och EU:s miljörätt har gjort det nödvändigt med omfattande uppdateringar i den tredje upplagan av boken. Ett stort antal rättsfall har tillkommit och slutsatser och relevanta citat från praxis har vävts in i framställningen. Bokens första del behandlar relativt utförligt institutionella och principiella frågor med fokus på EU:s centrala organ och relationen mellan EU och dess medlemsstater i utarbetandet och genomförandet av miljölagstiftningen. Den andra delen behandlar EU:s lagstiftning inom specifika miljörättsliga områden. Där presenteras rättsakter, och i viss mån rättspraxis, inom ramen för övergripande teman som klimat och energi, vatten, och kemikalier.

Coronapandemin slog till med full kraft i Europa under 2020. Pandemin med följdverkningar är den senaste i en rad händelser som med all tydlighet visar att EU har ett avgörande vägval framför sig för att nå en politiskt, ekonomiskt och socialt uthållig union. Utmaningarna och frågorna är många: vilka politiska och ekonomiska reformer krävs för att säkerställa omvandlingen till en grön ekonomi trots en åldrande befolkning, växande sociala behov och en undermålig integration i samhället? Hur ska EU:s medlemsländer kunna enas i migrations- och flyktingfrågan när den politiska samsynen saknas och nationella regler om integration konkurrerar om att framstå som så ogenerösa som möjligt? Vilka lärdomar kan dras av coronapandemin för att rusta EU att hantera framtida globala folkhälsokriser? Är den europeiska gröna given tillräcklig för att leda omställningen till ett klimatneutralt EU år 2050 och samtidigt säkra tillväxten? Hur ska EU verka för att uppnå en högre innovationstakt och på vilka sätt kan bankunionen bidra till att uppnå finansiell stabilitet i ett läge då det samlade lånetrycket ökat markant i pandemins spår?
