This authoritative and rigorous commentary expertly examines the legal framework underpinning Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). As this book illustrates, the significance of the SDGs for international law is clear. The book sets out how international organisations such as the EU, ASEAN, and CARICOM are integrating the SDGs in their various legal agreements. An understanding of the impact of SDGs on the national, international and transnational level is becoming much more central to the operation of international law and the practise of international lawyers, so this book will be an invaluable resource for all practitioners in the field.

It explores how states and other actors have used international law to protect general interests, and outlines significant challenges still to be addressed.

It opens by examining the origins of the concept of sustainable development, identifying and discussing the foun...

Diese Regeln, welche den Rahmen bilden für das ansonsten bunte Bild vertraglicher Freiräume, unterscheiden sich sehr von Land zu Land. Im Folgenden sollen daher die normativen Hintergründe von Verträgen in Deutschland, den USA, der Chinesischen Volksrepublik u...
