Analyzing globalization and the increasing tension it has caused between the goals of free trade and environmental protection, "International Trade and the Protection of the Environment" provides a comprehensive and detailed legal analysis, both at the national and international level of what looks set to become the new legal order of the twenty-first Century. This book asks the questions does the treatment of 'measures tantamount to expropriation' have the capacity to lead to a 'regulatory chill' on environmental protection and what are the possibilities for claims before the UK courts that are based on alleged violations of international law? The author offers: an informed and critical commentary on the continuing controversy on GMO products, in particular on the recent WTO award in the EC-Biotech dispute; a comparison of the treatment of the expropriation under NAFTA and bilateral investment treaties with position under article one of the first protocol of the European convention on human rights; an analysis of the human rights dimension to claims for environmental damage against multi-national corporations, focusing particularly on claims in the US under the Alien Trot Claims Act 1789. Incisive and current, this text is a valuable tool for postgraduate law students studying international and commercial law.
