Brill The International Seabed Authority and the Precautionary Principle: Balancing Deep Seabed Mineral Mining and Marine Environmental Protection: 83 (Publications on Ocean Development, 83)

Product Description In The International Seabed Authority and the Precautionary Principle, Aline L. Jaeckel offers an insightful analysis of the work of the International Seabed Authority and examines whether the Authority is implementing the precautionary principle in regulating and managing deep seabed minerals. Review "With this book, Dr. Aline Jaeckel successfully overcomes the challenge of delivering what is just as much a reflection on theoretical notions of international environmental law as it is a very pragmatic and concrete case study. In that, she is a pioneer in the discussion of deep seabed mining, contributing to the development of maritime law and bringing the discussion to the next level. [..] Despite the specificity and technicality of the topic, she manages to make it very accessible with a clear and straightforward language. In this respect, this book is a polyvalent and useful tool to be recommended to all researchers, institutions, practitioners or students interested in the matter." - Laura E.
