TY - BOOK AU - SCHRIJVER Nico TI - Sovereignty over natural resources: balancing rights and duties SN - 0521562694 (hbk.): PY - 1998/// CY - Cambridge PB - Cambridge University Press KW - INTERNATIONAL LAW KW - NATURAL RESOURCES KW - SOVEREIGNTY N2 - Analyses the evolution of permanent sovereignty from a political claim to a principle of international law, and examines its significance for a number of controversial issues such as human rights, nationalisation, and environmental conservation. Notes that the tendency to focus on rights arising from permanent sovereignty has been at the expense of matching obligations which, in an increasingly interdependent world, affect the environment, sustainable development, and the regulation of international investment.
