Book Synopsis Environmental Protection and the Law of War by : Glen Plant
Book excerpt: The Gulf War has focused attention on the environmental dimensions of armed conflict. This authoritative book summarizes and exemplifies the main themes and tenets of international law in relation to war and the environment. It brings together the pronouncements and opinions of legal authorities from varied backgrounds and jurisdictions to produce a comprehensive examination of the topic. After a broad introductory essay by the editor, succeeding chapters deal with scientific aspects of the impact of war on the environment; existing international law; problems in negotiating a new treaty and a proposal for a new International Convention of Environmental Protection in War (The Fifth Geneva).
