商品簡介
In the wake of the Vietnam War, a range of environmental protection laws applicable to wartime were instituted by the international community. However, in light of the depleted uranium used by the United States in the Balkans, the oil well fires of the Persian Gulf War, and other developments, many now see those laws as inadequate. Hulme (international law, U. of Essex, UK) describes the current state of law, analyzes case studies in recent conflicts, and assesses whether the laws are sufficient by measuring them benchmarks and legal standards applicable in peacetime.
