Droit public français et européen
In: Amphi
La quatrième de couverture indique : "De profondes évolutions impriment au droit public un renouveau. Cet ouvrage en traite les différents aspects, des institutions aux normes, de l'action publique au rôle des juges. Il repose sur une conviction, celle que le droit public français ne peut se concevoir aujourd'hui en dehors de l'espace européen. Chaque question est donc abordée non seulement du point de vue du droit interne mais aussi sous l'angle européen, qu'il s'agisse du droit de l'Union européenne, de la Convention européenne des droits de l'homme ou des différents droits nationaux. Les auteurs accordent également une place particulière aux sources constitutionnelles, que la mise en oeuvre de la question prioritaire de constitutionnalité vient encore renforcer, et mettent en lumière le nouveau visage d'une justice administrative qui s'est modernisée pour mieux répondre à la forte croissance du contentieux et aux attentes des citoyens. Attentif à l'actualité, l'ouvrage replace les questions juridiques dans une perspective globale, s'attachant notamment au contexte historique et politique d'une France où le droit public, plus que dans tout autre pays, est ancré dans l'histoire nationale. Au-delà du droit, il décrit les réalités de la vie administrative, présente les enjeux des grandes politiques publique et s'interroge sur la réforme de l'État. D'une approche novatrice, ce manuel complet s'adresse aux étudiants des facultés de droit et des instituts d'études politiques, aux candidats aux concours administratifs, aux professionnels du droit et à tous ceux qui s'intéressent au cadre juridique de l'action publique."
The Need for a New Covenant on the Right to a Healthy Environment
In: Environmental policy and law, Band 53, Heft 2-3, S. 111-123
ISSN: 1878-5395
As humanity is facing a "triple planetary crisis" of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, it seems imperative to strive for an effective integration of new international legal principles, rights, and duties in international environmental law. Following the recognition of the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment as a human right by the UN Human Right Council (2021) and the UN General Assembly (2022), a new Covenant on the Right to a Healthy Environment would reaffirm this right. It can also shape and strengthen new international environmental norms. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the right to a healthy environment, the proposed covenant need to recognize other environmental rights, duties, and principles inherent to the right to a healthy environment and provide for concrete implementation and monitoring measures. This article examines the need for adoption of the proposed new covenant on the right to a healthy environment, before addressing the fundamental environmental rights, duties, and principles inherent to the right to a healthy environment that should necessarily be included, and analyzing how the proposed new covenant can be implemented and monitored so as to ensure effective protection of the environment and our environmental rights.

On the Concept of a Global Public Interest: Some Reflections
In: Environmental policy and law, Band 52, Heft 1, S. 13-20
ISSN: 1878-5395
The emergence of the global public interest stems from a shift in the notion of sovereignty that goes beyond the interest of a State per se. It comprises inevitability of the assertion of sovereignty in a state-centric international legal and global order. As growing numbers of international legal instruments factor in and use different nomenclatures to indicate quest to go beyond the narrow confines of 'sovereignty' to cater to need for co-existence with other nations and peoples, it calls for sensitivities in our pursuit for something 'common' on the planet earth. This article seeks to examine and contextualize the quest for a global common interest in the emerging scenario of deepening of the global environmental challenges and the need to find legal and institutional mechanisms for our survival. Can we chisel the existing tools and prioritize the common interest at the global level? What will it entail?
A New Environmental Charter for the Future
In: Environmental policy and law, Band 50, Heft 6, S. 531-539
ISSN: 1878-5395
The environmental crisis compels humanity to redefine its relationship with nature. This calls for the principles that would guide the new pathway to be outlined and enshrined into a global treaty. An environmental charter for the future would serve the purpose of a social contract and define the norms which would allow humanity to coexist with its natural environment. In this context, this article argues that faith in the international system could be restored by a global agreement on the basic principles which are to guide the new system for international environmental governance. It will thus first focus on (i) exposing the merits of principles in a legal system, (ii) tackling the purely technical vision that weakens both the creation and implementation of international environmental law and (iii) finally, it will make the case for a global environmental charter that would enshrine fundamental principles and rejuvenate the values that founded the international system.
