Abstract
This chapter focuses on some of the challenges faced by international environmental institutions (IEI) in the creation and working of multilateral environmental regimes. It also focuses on the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), as the premier institution established by the United Nations Conference on Human Environment (UNCHE). The chapter analyzes the mandate and mixed contribution of this environment programme of the UN. The on-going effort to revitalize UNEP is sought to be addressed, with special reference to the 1998 UN Task Force Report. In fact the pre-United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) period witnessed recognition of UNEP's role as a leading global environmental agency. In the backdrop of the growing feeling about marginalization of UNEP, the nineteenth session of the GC came out with a renewed mandate in the Nairobi Declaration, aiming at the role and mandate of the UNEP in the changing context.Keywords: International Environmental Institutions (IEIs); Nairobi declaration; UN task force report; UNCED; United Nations Conference on Human Environment (UNCHE); United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
