ASIL International Environmental Law Interest Group
ASIL Interest Groups are organized by ASIL members for focused activity
in particular fields of international law. Membership in ASIL is
required for membership in ASIL Interest Groups.
This Interest Group was formed to examine issues of development
and implementation of international environmental law such as environmental
governance, climate change, globalization and environmental law,
water law, and the effect of war on the environment. The group emphasizes
the inter-disciplinary nature of environmental law and its presence
as a core area of international law, and looks at linkages with
other areas such as trade law, humanitarian law and science, as
well as specifically addressing international wildlife law as a
distinct area under the umbrella of international environmental
law. The IELIG is comprised of a diverse membership whose specialties
cover all aspects of international law, underscoring the importance
of the integration of environmental law into other areas of international
law.
