Sammendrag
This book addresses multiple perspectives on challenges and solutions to the environmental rule of law for oceans. Despite the variety of perspectives, topics and geographical areas covered, several cross-cutting challenges appear. These include the need for both flexibility and generality, as well as both specificity and fit-for-purpose law; a lack of clarity in definitions, provisions and laws; the urgent need for enhanced coordination and cooperation; and the need to improve implementation, compliance and enforcement. This closing chapter presents solutions in the context of (1) tackling existing and new pressures on the marine environment, (2) ensuring a proper balance between exploitation and protection of oceans and seas, (3) improving implementation, compliance and enforcement and (4) strengthening the rule of law in regional seas and oceans.
