Abstract
Environmental treaty law has developed most progressively since the beginning of 1970 (Sir Palmer 1992, Kiss 1983, Brown Weiss 1992/93a, pp 675 et seq., Jacobson and Brown Weiss 1995, pp 119, Werksman 1995, pp 30 et seq.).The development of this new body of law is due to the fact that the industrial development, the growth of population, and especially the necessity to safeguard a sustainable development1 for all States and for future generations2 requires States to cooperate more intensively. In particular, the development of new institutional forms of co-operation for the protection of the integrity and sustainability of the environment is necessary.3
