Quels enseignements peut-on déduire de ces développements récents dans un contexte franco-japonais ?
Informations
Presentation
As part of the scientific cooperation between legal experts from the Law and Social Change Laboratory UMR Nantes University / CNRS and legal experts from Chuo Law School, Tokyo, we will examine this year the new obligations that burden the states in the face of global warming and their legal foundations as identified by international and European courts.
We will successively discuss the perspectives in Japanese law, the political advances at the Council of Europe, as well as the judicial developments before the European Court of Human Rights, the International Court of Justice, and the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea.
We will cross-reference the lessons concerning, on the one hand, the levers and obstacles to identifying new state obligations, and on the other hand, the diversity of legal foundations.
To what extent can developments in international and European law influence national laws, including Japanese law?
