Cassandra,

You said you were interested in getting an overview of international environmental law. You could take a look at Principles of International Law. It’s a reasonably comprehensive reference book on regulations relating to environmental (1) defence and the conservation of natural resources. It covers the institutional and legal (2) structure, the (3) written and signed legal agreements between countries, customary law, and all the new case law, as well as issues like (4) agreement to carry out what is ordered, implementation, (5) ensuring that the law is obeyed, and dispute settlement. There’s breadth of topics: conservation of biological diversity, genetically modified organisms, (6) damage through contamination control, hazardous substances and activities, waste management and disposal, the Kyoto Protocol, and techniques for the (7) fulfillment of principles and rules such as environmental impact assessment, liability, and compensation for environmental (8) harm.
