Abstract

Since the 1991 Gulf War, the challenge of protecting the environment during armed conflict has been high on the global agenda. Over the past two years there have been at least five major Meetings of Experts on the subject, the Sixth (Legal) Committee of the UN General Assembly (hereafter Sixth Committee) began deliberations on it, as has the UN General Assembly itself, and it was addressed at the UN Conference on Environment and Development (hereafter UNCED), ultimately forming part of the Rio de Janeiro Declaration on Environment and Development (hereafter Rio Declaration) and Agenda 21.
