The Antarctic Environment and International Law

Joe Verhoeven, Philippe Sands, Maxwell Bruce

The Antarctic symbolizes the broader challenge of balancing economic growth with environmental protection in international law. This volume, inspired by a 1990 symposium in Brussels, explores how science, new institutions, and the non-governmental sector contribute to effective law-making and enforcement. It provides a significant contribution to legal thought, addressing the inadequacies of international rules on natural resource and environmental protection.
