Lessons learnt from two decades of international environmental agreements: Law
As Patricia Birnie cautiously and prophetically put it in the inaugural issue of this journal (INEA 1, January 2001, p. 74), “we do not know whether States and the tentative regimes they have so far established can withstand the pressures of globalization of trade and degradation and over-exploitation generated by advances in technologies for locating, fertilizing, harvesting, processing and modifying natural resources and biodiversity. This is t…
Roman law in Ethiopia: Traces of a seventeenth century transplant
This study tracks the ancient Ethiopian Fetḥa Nagaśt (‘Law of the Kings’) to its origins, which date back to compilations of Roman-Byzantine law from the fifth to the ninth centuries, first translated from Greek into Arabic by Coptic Christian jurists in Egypt in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and into the classical Ethiopic language (Ge’ez) in the mid-seventeenth century. The transfer of this Eastern Roman torso of law to the radically dif…
The shadow of Pelindaba: Chagos and the African nuclear-weapon-free zone
The Chagos Archipelago off the East African coast has been the subject of a territorial and humanitarian dispute ever since it was ‘excised’ from the former British colony of Mauritius and forcibly depopulated, 50 years ago, to make place for an American military base on the principal island of Diego Garcia. Starting from a historic advisory opinion issued by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on 25 February 2019 and an implementing resolut…
Mesopotamia 2550 B.C: The Earliest Boundary Water Treaty
Das Washingtoner Artenschutzabkommen (WA)
The 1973 Washington Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) has been labeled »one of the most successful instruments of international environmental law«. Global challenges in this field persist, however - especially illegal wildlife trafficking, as highlighted at this year's CITES meeting in Johannesburg. On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Convention's entry into force in Germany (now ap…

Stephen Allen. The Chagos Islanders and International Law
The tale of the Chagos Archipelago (British Indian Ocean Territory, BIOT) raises a wide spectrum of transnational legal questions, all across the fields of human rights, environment and disarmament. Last-born of the Empire's colonies, the BIOT was established - and systematically depopulated - for the sole purpose of accommodating a strategic US military base during the Cold War years in 1965-1966.1 The territory has since generated extensive lit…
Marine protected areas' off UK overseas territories: Comparing the South Orkneys Shelf and the Chagos Archipelago
In the wake of the designation of two new 'marine protected areas' adjacent to the coastal waters of the South Orkney Islands (British Antarctic Territory) and the Chagos Archipelago (British Indian Ocean Territory), this commentary considers some of the geographical, legal and political implications of these unilateral declarations - taking into account competing claims of jurisdiction by Mauritius and the Maldives; human rights claims of the Ch…
The Evolution of Transnational Environmental Law: Four Cases in Historical Perspective
This essay places transnational environmental law in an epistemological context. Starting from the general concept of 'transnational law' and the specific environmental dimension of 'international administrative law', four case histories are presented to illustrate the integrant approach of transnational environmental law. The cases - all arising in the1970s - deal with transboundary problems of aircraft noise, ocean dumping, river pollution, and…

History: Empire’s Last-Born Colony
Once upon a time there was a proverbial tropical island—palm trees on a coral atoll, in the middle of the Indian Ocean; white beaches; and a coconut plantation—inhabited by a few hundred Creole-speaking people who called themselves Îlois [ilwa] (the Islanders). The island was named Diego García after a Portuguese explorer in Spanish services, who claimed to have discovered it about 1532. 1 These keywords were added by machine and not by the autho…

Sovereignty Bounded: Public Trusteeship for Common Pool Resources
In spite of early hopes for a “fading out” of sovereignty in the face of global environmental challenges, recent codifications of international law have confirmed the creeping national enclosure of what were once considered common assets—e.g., exclusive economic zones under the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention, or access to genetic resources from the 1983 International Undertaking via the 1992 Biodiversity Convention to the 2001 Plant Gene Treaty. …

The present analysis will attempt to review the past performance of the CITES reg…
