CALL FOR PAPERS! International Conference! THE CROSSROAD OF INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL LAW ENFORCEMENT! 2-3 December 2024 !
Barcelona
ORGANIZED BY- Open University of Catalonia
International Environmental Law (IEL) has experienced a major development and expansion in the last 50 years. The relevance of IEL has taken a significant leap as the international community acquired awareness of the increasing exploitation of natural resources beyond planetary boundaries. At the present stage, because of our dependence on fossil fuels and the limitations of the current transition to renewables, the rise in global temperature will most likely be more than three degrees in the next two decades, which will trigger devastating environmental and economic impacts, especially in the Global South.
Call for Papers
The Scientific Committee of the International Conference “The crossroad of international environmental law enforcement: The instrumentalization of other legal regimes and discourses in the era of fragmentation and the Anthropocene” launches a call for papers and invites contributions that aim to explore the current tensions and synergies within international law from the perspective of the enforcement of international environmental law (IEL). Possible topics to be addressed:
• Benefits and limits of IEL Non-compliance mechanisms.
• Alternative mechanisms for IEL enforcement and / or accountability, pertaining to other legal regimes: risks, benefits, and experiences.
• The interpretation and application of IEL in the context of the fragmentation of international Law and /or CIL development.
• The evolution of the concept of State jurisdiction and state responsibility in the light of IEL.
