This book gives an overview of the most important international legal regimes that directly address and indirectly affect animals. It covers species conservation treaties, notably the international whaling regime, the farm animal protection rules of the EU, international trade law and the international law of armed conflict. It also analyses the potential for an international regime of animal rights. Finding that international law creates more harm than good for animals, the auther suggests progressive treaty interpretation, treaty making and animal interest representation to close the animal welfare gap in international law. A body of global animal law needs to be developed, accompanied by critical global animal studies.The Pocket Books of the Hague Academy of International Law / les Livres de Poche de l'Académie de Droit International de la Haye Animal welfareLaw and legislationAnimal rightsAnimalsLaw and legislationAnimal welfareLaw and legislation.Animal rights.AnimalsLaw and legislation.344.049Peters Anne1964-509327MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910794662503321Animals in international law3721280UNINA
