Responsibility for Site Contamination -- 6. Promoting National Site Contamination Law: The Challenge of Harmonisation -- 7. An International Response to Site Contamination -- 8.

Conclusions and Recommendations.Global Approaches to Site Contamination Law offers a clear explanation of the definitions and legal principles that address site contamination, and a comprehensive survey of the current state of relevant international law. The book describes the complex and variable laws addressing site contamination, reviewing existing international, regional and national law of relevance to site contamination. It also offers detailed case studies of national approaches to the issue, and goes on to explore avenues for promoting the development of comprehensive domestic laws on site contamination, with a focus on the role of international law and actors.  A detailed discussion analyzes such variations as a binding international legal instrument, a non-binding instrument, and a model framework for site contamination management.  The text includes recommendations regarding the key elements needed for regulating site contamination at the national level. The author also offers an appropriate and feasible timetable for international action to promote better national law and policy regarding contaminated sites.Environmental lawEnvironmental managementEnvironmental law.Environmental management.344.046Brandon Elizabeth1058904MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910437788403321Global Approaches to Site Contamination Law2503107UNINA05626nam 2200769Ia 450 991101988390332120230607214108.09786610366651978128036665912803666569780470303597047030359X9780471461135047146113X97804712211590471221155(CKB)111087027122388(EBL)157056(OCoLC)475872459(SSID)ssj0000200505(PQKBManifestationID)11180906(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000200505(PQKBWorkID)10219930(PQKB)10475033(MiAaPQ)EBC157056(Perlego)2763921(EXLCZ)9911108702712238820050307d2002 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrMedical imaging physics /William R.
