Gendering International Legal Responses to Environmental Chronic Emergencies
Edited by Sara De Vido, Deborah Russo and Enzamaria Tramontana

‘This unique, precious and beautiful blue-green planet is under assault by a global economy built on the exploitation of Nature and people, especially people of color, Indigenous peoples, women, and girls and those who are part of more than one of these communities. We are all part of an insidious global experiment, undertaken without consent, in which our bodies are exposed to a toxic stew of chemicals and microplastics. This is but one of a host of chronic environmental emergencies described in this timely and erudite book. The contributors provocatively challenge existing paradigms of environmental law and human rights law, arguing convincingly that chronic environmental emergencies must be unmasked, analyzed through an intersectional lens, and ultimately addressed through a combination of remediation, reparation, and prevention.’

– David R. Boyd, former UN Special Rapporteur on the Human Right to a Clean, Healthy and Sustainable Environment

The Law on Nuclear Weapons
An International Commentary
Edited by William H. Boothby and Wolff Heintschel von Heinegg

‘The Law on Nuclear Weapons cuts across the spectrum of peace and security offering legal certainty at a critical moment in history. The regional diversity of the pool of experts consulted ensures an in-depth and representative interrogation of the law. In my view this is the most important contemporary contribution on nuclear weapons law owing to the rules-based approach which ensures accessibility and attention given to the position of the global south which is often overlooked.’

– Martha Bradley, University of Johannesburg, South Africa
