OUVRAGE : S.C. Breau, Katja L.H. Samuel (eds.), Research Handbook on Disasters and International Law

Susan C. BREAU, Katja L.H. SAMUEL

International law’s role in governing disasters is undergoing a formative period in its development and reach, in parallel with concerted efforts by the international community to respond more effectively to the increasing number and intensity of disasters across the world. This Research Handbook examines a broad range of legal regimes directly and indirectly relevant to disaster prevention, mitigation and reconstruction across a spectrum of natural and manmade disasters, including armed conflict.
