Trends and Challenges in International Law. Selected Issues in Human Human Rights, Cultural Heritage, Environment and Sea

This volume intends to explore selected emerging issues in the fields of human rights, the environment, cultural heritage and the law of the sea. Can State responsibility help to protect the environment? Can protecting human rights be reconciled with national security? Can the UN Security Council address climate change? Is the law of the sea still fit for purpose? And how can we balance human rights and the environment, or cultural heritage and the law of the sea? The international scholars and experienced practitioners who have contributed to this volume discuss these and other key questions.
