This is the first book to focus on the myriad legal issues posed by this tragic situation: if a nation is under water, is it still a state? Does it still have a seat at the United Nations? What becomes of its exclusive economic zone, the basis for its fishing rights? What obligations do other nations have to take in the displaced populations, and what are these peoples' rights and legal status once they arrive? Should there be a new international agreement on climate-displaced populations? Do these nations and their citizens have any legal recourse for compensation? Are there any courts that will hear their claims, and based on what theories? Leading legal scholars from around the world address these novel questions and propose answers. 606 $aClimatic changes$xLaw and legislation$zIslands of the Pacific 606 $aClimatic changes$xLaw and legislation$zIslands of the Indian Ocean 606 $aSea level$xEnvironmental aspects$zIslands of the Pacific 606 $aClimatic changes$xPolitical aspects$zIslands of the Pacific 606 $aEnvironmental refugees$xLegal status, laws, etc$zIslands of the Pacific 606 $aSea level$xEnvironmental aspects$zIslands of the Indian Ocean 606 $aClimatic changes$xPolitical aspects$zIslands of the Indian Ocean 606 $aEnvironmental refugees$xLegal status, laws, etc$zIslands of the Indian Ocean 606 $aLiability for climatic change damages 606 $aIslands$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aClimatic changes$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aClimatic changes$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aSea level$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aClimatic changes$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aEnvironmental refugees$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aSea level$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aClimatic changes$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aEnvironmental refugees$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aLiability for climatic change damages. 615 0$aIslands$xLaw and legislation. 676 $a344.14/2046 702 $aGerrard$b Michael$f1951- 702 $aWannier$b Gregory E. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821844403321 996 $aThreatened island nations$93925565 997 $aUNINA
