‘Legal questions regarding the protection of the environment, including addressing climate change and its adverse effects, are quickly rising on the international judicial agenda. Justine Bendel's book provides a diligent analysis of the procedural contours of international court and tribunals in addressing such questions. The timing of this book could not have been more suitable nor its relevance more acute.’
Professor Christina Voigt, University of Oslo, Norway
‘What role do international litigation and the international legal system play in resolving environmental disputes?
Dr. Bendel focuses on the need for a preventive approach to environmental harm. Relocating the international legal system within this preventive context has not been easy. Making sense of a fragmented system that no-one would design from scratch, Dr. Bendel’s book provides a sure and confident guide to these challenging questions and merits a place on the bookshelves of anyone who has to deal with global or regional environmental problems.’
Professor Alan Boyle, University of Edinburgh, UK
Providing an insightful contribution to literature on the topic, this book scrutinises how international courts and tribunals may respond procedurally to an ever-growing list of environmental disputes. In a time of environmental crisis, it lays crucial groundwork for strengthening the application of international environmental law, a topic of increasing relevance for global civil society.
