Reviews

Review from previous edition ... a short but incisive review of the foundations of international environmental law ... Gillespie is impressive in his use of a plethora of international environmental conventions, declarations and statements to support his arguments. ...thought-provoking ... raises questions about IEL which to date have rarely been seriously addressed ... Lawyers Weekly a very interesting and well-written work...this study can contribute to a better understanding of the issues raised in choosing the best means to protect the environment./Edward H.P. Brans/REC/EL vol 8 issue 2 1999.
