“…De norma crepuscular a criterio jurídico vinculante Rodríguez & González Cortés (2014) en referencia a los postulados de Beyerlin (2007) sobre principios y reglas del derecho ambiental internacional, sostienen que existe una real dificultad a la hora de definir la naturaleza de las normas en materia ambiental. De hecho, autores como Jiménez De Parga (2003) y Vargas-Chaves (2017) son conscientes de esta situación y de acuerdo con esta misma línea, plantean que la razón de lo anterior es la contraposición resultante entre dos fuerzas que dominan el derecho ambiental: por un lado, la preocupación de los Estados sobre los problemas ambientales y, por el otro, la falta de voluntad política a la hora de asumir compromisos en este sentido.…”

El presente artículo presenta el rol que el principio de precaución ha venido adquiriendo en el ordenamiento como un criterio jurídico vinculante. Para lograr este objetivo propuesto se lleva a cabo un estudio de línea jurisprudencial tomando como caso de referencia la invocabilidad del principio en casos de contaminación electromagnética; acompañado de un barrido dogmático sobre las cuestiones bases de la problemática descrita. El artículo se plantea en tres grandes partes, en la primera, se presentan conceptos clave para el desarrollo del mismo, en la segunda se lleva a cabo el estudio de la citada línea jurisprudencial y, por último, se proponen unos criterios de invocabilidad a manera de ejercicio propositivo.

“…Rather, they aim at influencing decision making, at prompting the creation of new norms and at guiding the interpretation of existing rules. 74 In that sense, in order to be effective, they need to be substantiated through rules agreed upon by States in legally binding international agreements. The following subsections therefore examine the most important of these agreements.…”

Air pollution poses one of the greatest human health threats in the twenty‐first century, accounting for an estimated 7 million premature deaths annually. In the light of this, global efforts to promote clean air are ever more important and should feature among the key priorities on the agenda of the international community. The universal 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted in September 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly, offers an important opportunity to tackle air pollution at a global scale. Stressing the importance of air pollution as a human health hazard, this article examines to what extent air quality is covered by the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and provides an analysis of the added value of the 2030 Agenda vis‐à‐vis existing international regulatory instruments addressing air pollution. Even though the SDGs do not include a stand‐alone goal on air quality, the article concludes that the 2030 Agenda, by establishing clean air as an integral element of the principle of sustainable development, not only constitutes an important contribution to international (hard) law focusing on the atmosphere, but also sets out a much needed complementary pathway of tackling the issue in the absence of a global agreement on air pollution.

“…Environmental norms may refer to principles such as the precautionary approach, the polluters pay principle, common but differentiated responsibilities, equitable utilization of natural resources, intergenerational equity, common concerns of mankind, and sustainable development [44]. However, this UN resolution does not specify which principles are applicable, presumably leaving for states to decide for themselves which principles would be applicable.…”

The Principle of Integration in International Sustainable Development Law (ISDL) with Reference to the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC)

et al. 2016

Abstract:The Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) does not explicitly refer to sustainable development despite the fact that other United Nations (UN) disarmament documents prescribe that international environmental law principles and sustainable development be considered among arms control agreements. This study's objective is to utilize the principle of integration's three components of environmental, economic, and social development, as found in the International Sustainable Development Law (ISDL) from the New Delhi Declaration (Delhi Declaration) of Principles of International Law Relating to Sustainable Development, in order to evaluate whether the BWC contains such components; thereby, making it possible for the BWC to contribute to sustainable development. The methodology of this study is necessarily qualitative, given that it is a socio-legal research that relies on international agreements such as the BWC, declarations, resolutions, plans of implementation, other non-binding documents of the UN, and secondary resources-all of which are analyzed through a document analysis. The results show that the BWC addresses the environment (Article II), prohibits transfers relating to export controls, international trade, and economic development (Article III), while at the same time, covering social development concerns, health, and diseases that make up the international social law (Article X). Since the BWC is found to be capable of contributing to sustainable development, it is concluded that ISDL cannot be restricted to international environmental, economic, and social law, but should be expanded to include international arms control law.
