Abstract

The UNU Monitor is a quarterly review of the current research, publications and forthcoming projects by the United Nations University (UNU) in the area of global environmental change. Related activities by other institutions active in the ‘Human Dimensions of Global Change Programme’ are also reported. The Monitor is compiled by the UNU Academic Division in Tokyo. The topic of this issue's Monitor is ‘Environmental change and international law’. Following the ‘Earth Summit’ in June international law has to cope with a variety of challenges, from cross-national accords to enforcement of international agreements. Professor Edith Brown Weiss of Georgetown University, coordinator of the UNU project on ‘Global Change and International Law’ and the editor of the resulting UNU Press book, outlines the issues at stake. For further information on UNU's global change agenda, contact Mr Dieter Koenig or Dr Juha Uitto, UNU, Toho-Seimei-Building, 15-1 Shibuya-2-chome, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 150, Japan.
