Artykuł odnosi się do zagadnień zawartych w tytule artykułu z perspektywy następujących pytań: dlaczego powinniśmy uczyć obcego prawa; dlaczego powinniśmy uczyć oraz sami uczyć się metod prawa porównawczego; dlaczego powinniśmy uczyć międzynarodowego prawa porównawczego i w końcu – dlaczego powinniśmy uczyć międzynarodowego prawa środowiska. Najkrótsza odpowiedź brzmi: ze względu na postępujące procesy globalizacji, w tym globalizacji przestrzeni prawnej i globalizacji obrotu prawnego. Uwagi zawarte w artykule są oparte na doświadczeniach wyniesionych z wieloletniej kariery akademickiej Autorki jako profesora prawa w Polsce oraz na zagranicznych uczelniach, również w Stanach Zjednoczonych, gdzie wykładała prawo środowiska Unii Europejskiej.

Environmental degradation in the world in general, and in Africa in particular, is occurring on a scale of increasing concern. The challenge for public policy is to change the relationship between people and their environment in order to reverse this trend. To this end, in an internal and an international context characterized by, on the one hand, the establishment of democracy and the rule of law and, on the other, by the globalization of environmental law following the Rio Conference (1992) in particular, the rule of law has naturally emerged as the key tool for these transformations. The aim of this article is to identify and analyze the African legal instruments and the actions of transformation in the relationship between the regional legal framework and international environment law, with the goal of the sustainability of natural resources and sustainable living environment as the key environmental issues in a fragile region. Africa is in the processes of decision making and adopting environmental protection methods as it embarks on a normative production process, with the aim of producing a law combining international standards and local norms and practices. The contemporary issues of environmental protection in Africa are analyzed in an interdisciplinary approach.

This article examines the legal and philosophical foundations of international environmental law. It analyses the legal regime of the Common Heritage of Mankind (Humankind) (CHM), Common Concern of Mankind (Humankind) (CCM), and the principles of intra- and intergenerational equity. The regime of CHM covers the Moon and other celestial bodies and the “Area” under the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The regime of CCM relates to areas such as climate change and biodiversity. Both CHM and CCM are based on a premise that certain areas of human activities are held in common interest for the whole community of States. In this context, the article claims that the underlying, foundational principles of international environmental law have the common theme of intra- and intergenerational equity.

The aim of this paper is to map the issue of environmental protection of outer space from the perspective of regulations of existing corpus iuris spatialis. The issue of the environmental protection of outer space has been a subject of considerable discourse which leaves many questions unanswered from the present corpus iuris spatialis perspective. There is no doubt that environmental concerns are an issue for the outer space legal regime and that the human activities in outer space pose a serious threat to future generations and uses of space. The article consists of five parts. In Parts I and II, the author deals with the problems of definitions of the environment of outer space and the environmental threats connected with human activity in the outer space; Parts III and IV present an overview of corpus iuris spatialis from an environmental protection perspective, and principles of international environmental law from the perspective of the future regulation iuris spatialis. Part V presents some final remarks.

The marine pollution is rarely debated from the perspective of land-based sources of pollution under the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). This article centres not only on a land-based source of pollution of the sea, but also a very particular one – the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi accident. Apart from causing severe infrastructural damage and posing a radiation-related threat to the public, Fukushima has had a lasting impact on the marine environment, too. Especially, since the operator of the plant has so far been unsuccessful in completely eliminating the radioactive leakage into the seas. This article considers the actual impact of the accident on the marine life along with the relevant recovery and remediation measures aimed to limit said impact, all in the light of the provisions of UNCLOS. Especially, with regard to its problematic (rather underdeveloped) enforcement and sanctioning system which should be more balanced, considering the various contemporary sources of pollution of the seas. Notwithstanding, UNCLOS will most likely further strengthen international cooperation with the ultimate aim of preventing the pollution of the world’s oceans.

This paper addresses the issues from the following questions perspective: why do we need to teach foreign law; why do we need to teach and learn a comparative law methods; why do we need to teach comparative international law and why to teach international environmental law. The shortest common answer is: because in our increasingly globally interconnected world, with the rise of important new developments over the last thirty years, we are related in important common legal ways. The remarks made in this paper are based on academic career and experience as a professor of law in Poland, as well as from the experience as a visiting professor at the foreign universities, including the American universities, where the author have had an opportunity to teach the EU environmental law.

Environmental protection in times of non-international armed conflicts is not subject to the sectoral or particular protection categories of environmental law and to date it has not been comprehensively regulated by international law. Except for generalities, it was also ignored in the 1992 Rio Declaration Principle 24 of which is not unambiguous in its expression. In fact, only the international humanitarian law of armed conflict contains norms which address the natural environment in times of armed conflicts. On the basis of a review of legal acts addressing the issues of environmental protection in times of non-international conflicts, negative conclusions de lege lata can be drawn as part of an attempt to answer the question whether international law ensures sufficient environmental protection in such circumstances. In the Author’s opinion, in international law there is a gap relating to the protection of the environment in times of non-international armed conflicts; the existing legal regulations which could be applied in these matters have a rudimentary characters.
