Trade and Environment Law - LAW852

This unit examines the ways in which trade and environment issues are addressed in a variety of international legal instruments, ranging from UN, through to global and regional free trade agreements. It provides an overview of international institutions, policies and instruments such as the UN, GATT, the WTO, NAFTA, the World Bank and the IMF as they relate to environmental issues. It also, where appropriate, compares the achievements of one legal instrument with others in the area of trade and the environment. It particularly focuses on the interests and concerns of developing countries on this pressing issue.
