Full Description
This authoritative and rigorous commentary expertly examines the legal framework underpinning Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). As this book illustrates, the significance of the SDGs for international law is clear. The book sets out how international organisations such as the EU, ASEAN, and CARICOM are integrating the SDGs in their various legal agreements.
An understanding of the impact of SDGs on the national, international and transnational level is becoming much more central to the operation of international law and the practise of international lawyers, so this book will be an invaluable resource for all practitioners in the field.
