Book launch: Protection of the Environment under International Law during Occupation [Video]

Join Westminster Law School and International Law at Westminster research communities to discuss the findings of new book by Dr Waad Abualrob on Protection of the Environment under International Law during Occupation.

This book examines the relationship between International Environmental Law and Human Rights Law regarding the protection of the environment in times of occupation. Times of occupation create a tangible threat to the environment, alongside human, animal, and plant rights. This book uses international law to grapple with unprecedented environmental challenges, from water, air and soil pollution and severe damage to natural resources to the complexities of regulating emerging environmental challenges during extraordinary situations.
