Abstract

This paper provides an overview of major Australian developments in international environmental law during the term of the Howard government.

It argues that Australian approaches to the field of intemational environmental law under the Howard govemment were primarily characterised by emphasis on sovereign rights, shared global responsibility, market forces and compliance. The emphasis on sovereign rights refers to the Howard govemment's robust assertion of Australian autonomous and effective sovereign control over the use of its claimed natural resources.
