| Summary: |
This brief paper tries to underline my international general experience on Environmental law, in particular from the point of view of concerned individuals. There is a real need for international alternative settlement of environmental conflicts in despite of the international principle of sovereignty which is failing in order to protect natural resources during the last decades. However, States and their subdivisions are reluctant to submit themselves to the new principles of co-sovereignty, especially in the relationship with individuals. Although one may safely state that the international law of the environment is on the road to strengthening the role of nonstate actors, there is still a long way to go before access of these actors to international adjudication will be fully recognised. Therefore, there is real need worldwide for an open debate and proposal on an international forum for making available the need for international resolution of environmental disputes. The pending international challenges on Climate Change, inter alia, would find here another reason to push forward in terms of international solidarity and new sovereignty on environmental matters.Received: 17.10.2019Accepted: 20.12.2019Published online: 03.07.2020 |
