International environmental agreements, implementation, settlement of disputesAbstract
The article provides some insight into the means of international environmental legal rules implementation. The author elaborates a classification of those means dividing them into non-confrontational and confrontational ones. The non-confrontational means include: informational means; scientific, technical and financial means; multilateral international agreements without binding obligations; diplomatic means of settling international disputes. The confrontational means to ensure compliance with international environmental agreements include: invocation for responsibility; application of sanctions (countermeasures) allowed by international law; unilateral trade restrictions that are not sanctions; settlement of disputes before international judicial and quasi-judicial institutions.References
