LAW525: Advanced Topics in Environmental Law |
This unit critically examines the inter-relationship between trade-induced economic growth and the environment and their impact on the global quest for sustainable development. It particularly focuses on the interests and concerns of developing countries on this pressing issue. This unit examines the ways in which trade and environment issues are addressed in a variety of international legal instruments, ranging from the United Nations, through to global and regional free trade agreements. It provides an overview of international institutions, policies and instruments such as the UN, GATT, the WTO, TRIPS, NAFTA, APEC, the World Bank and the IMF as they relate to environmental issues. It also, where appropriate, compares the achievements of one legal instrument in the area of trade and the environment, with the achievements of other legal instruments.
