Characteristics of environmental treaties (remarks on the background of polish law)
2018
The subject of the study is an indication of the characteristics of international agreements in the field of environmental protection. The analysis of environmental international agreements allows for the formulation of several characteristics, generally assuming that these contracts are not different from other international agreements in the national legal order and are subject to thesame legal regime at international level. Characteristics include: institutionalization of treaties, specific design, susceptibility to change due to scientific progress, sectorality and subject and formal diversity. The author is aware that studying the basics of environmental protection can lead to the sepa…

International Legal Approaches to Waste Water Discharges
2002
Este capítulo se dedica al estudio de los distintos enfoques jurídicos seguidos en el Derecho Internacional del Medio Ambiente sobre las descargas de aguas residuales. Comienza analizando los enfoques jurídicos fragmentarios iniciales sobre las descargas de aguas residuales, principalmente en la Antártida y el Océano Austral, en algunos mares regionales (especialmente, el Mediterráneo) y el caso particular de las descargas de basuras procedentes de buques. No obstante, dedico la parte principal de este capítulo al enfoque global que sobre esta cuestión clave de la contaminación marina se inició en 1995, así como a su aplicación jurídica global, regional y nacional. This chapter is devoted t…
La "due diligence" et le lien entre le sujet et le risque qu'il faut prévenir: quelques observations
2018
The link between a risk to be prevented and a State (or an international organization) is a classical issue of the international law of state responsibility. At variance with the prevailing opinion, it is submitted that the main questions concerning such an issue cannot be answered in a unitary manner. On the contrary, these question need to be framed in the different legal contexts within which they arise. Leaving aside the traditional international legal rules on the treatment of aliens, Ssome observations are developed concerning what occurs in the fields of international human rights, international humanitarian law and international environmental law. La question du lien entre le sujet …
Enhancing a Transition to a Circular Economy in the Water Sector: The EU Project WIDER UPTAKE
2021
A novel approach for resource recovery includes forward osmosis (FO) as a concentration step in municipal wastewater treatment. The current study investigates different pre-treatment strategies including biological treatment with a moving-bed bioreactor (MBBR) at different loading rates and particle removal by filtration and sedimentation. Membrane performance and recovery potential for energy and nutrients were investigated in laboratory-scale FO experiments in batch mode using pre-treated municipal wastewater as feed and 35 g/L NaCl as a draw solution. Initial water fluxes were in the range of 6.3 to 8.0 L/(m2·h). The baseline fluxes were modelled to account for flux decline due to concen…
Marine Discharges of Offshore Produced Water: the North-East Atlantic Management Strategy
2002
Este capítulo contiene un estudio de Derecho internacional del medio ambiente sobre las normas y estrategias para prevenir y eliminar la contaminación resultante de hidrocarburos y otras substancias causadas por las descargas de agua de producción costa afuera en el mar. Debemos tener en cuenta que no existe ni un solo tratado internacional de ámbito mundial relativo a la contaminación por descargas de hidrocarburos contenidas en las aguas de producción generadas en las instalaciones costa afuera. De hecho, sólo hay una región marina donde existen normas jurídicas y estrategias para hacer frente a este problema de contaminación. La región marina es el Atlántico nordeste y la norma en cuesti…
Global Public Goods and International Law: Insights from International Forest Protection
2021
The aim of the present article is to contribute to this endeavour by identifying the weak-nesses of, and the areas for improvement in, the current global forest regulatory and institu-tional framework, through an analysis conducted using the lens of the concept of global public goods as transposed into, and shaped by, the discipline of international law. To this end, Section 2 starts by providing an overview of the origins of the concept of global public goods in political science and economy. Section 3 brings to the fore the value that the in-ternational legal discipline might add to the global public goods discourse. Section 4 pro-ceeds by explaining forest sustainable management protecti…
