Description
Book SynopsisThis book examines the protection of the environment in post-conflict societies, with regard both to the maintenance of natural ecosystems and to the function of environmental protection in the peace-building process, addressing the strengths and weaknesses of different bodies of law.
Trade ReviewEnvironmental Protection and Transitions from Conflict to Peace offers a path-breaking (and much needed) contribution to peacebuilding by emphasizing the significance of environment in rebuilding war-torn societies. The book delves deeply into the legal matters of post-war environmental protection; it will be useful not only to law practitioners and researchers, but also to scholars and advocates of peace, human rights, and environmental protection. * Hijam Liza Dallo Rihmo, Human Rights Review *
