That challenge is met by this work, which resolves a number of crucial questions concerning the scope of this principle of international environmental law; the conditions triggering a right or duty to take precautionary action; the measures to be taken; the allocation of the burden of proof; and the role of socio-economic factors. These questions are dealt with one at a time through the charting and analysis of patterns and common denominators in the extensive (inter)national practice of states regarding the precautionary principle. The hard legal core of the principle is thus gradually exposed. In the process, a realistic and accessible account is given of how and to what extent this general principle can and does direct the actions of states in concrete instances. Ultimately, this work sets out what it takes to act in conformity with the precautionary principle under general international law, and will be of interest to anyone involved with international law and environmental protection.Nova et vetera iuris gentium.Series A,Modern international law ;no. 25.Environmental law, InternationalEnvironmental risk assessmentLaw and legislationPrecautionary principleEnvironmental protectionEnvironmental law, International.Environmental risk assessmentLaw and legislation.Precautionary principle.Environmental protection.344.046 22Trouwborst Arie502181MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780788703321Precautionary rights and duties of States732408UNINA
