Who'll stop the rain: resolution mechanisms for US-Canadian transboundary pollution disputes
- Univ. of Denver Coll. of Law, CO
A mutually satisfactory resolution of transboundary air- and water-pollution problems is essential to the economic and aesthetic welfare of the United States and Canada. Items of discussion include limited territorial sovereignty as a basis for liability in transboundary pollution disputes; a remedy to the acid rain dispute; the effectiveness of current mechanisms for resolving disputes over two specific projects and the general ineffectiveness of the Boundary Waters Treaty; and the American-Canadian draft treaty proposals (presented in two appendices) drafted jointly by the American and Canadian Bar Associations. Settlements of future environmental disputes will be greatly dependent on the separation of environmental issues from political issues by diplomats and negotiators. 203 references.
