International Environmental Law

Description:  

This Interest Group was formed to examine issues of development and implementation of international environmental law such as environmental governance, climate change, globalization and environmental law, water law, and the effect of war on the environment. The group emphasizes the inter-disciplinary nature of environmental law and its presence as a core area of international law, and looks at linkages with other areas such as trade law, humanitarian law and science, as well as specifically addressing international wildlife law as a distinct area under the umbrella of international environmental law. The IELIG is comprised of a diverse membership whose specialties cover all aspects of international law, underscoring the importance of the integration of environmental law into other areas of international law.
