In July 2021, Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the establishment of a framework for achieving climate neutrality entered into force. In this context, it is therefore important to determine whether a conceptual category such as 'climate law' can indeed be distinguished in EU legislation and, if so, what is the meaning of this notion? To this end, the notion of 'European climate law' is analysed. The dogmatic-legal method is primarily used as the research method in this study. A theoretical-legal method is also used to highlight certain themes related to legal institutions. The research is narrowed down to selected normative acts that are part of the EU legislation – the provisions of normative acts related to the functioning of the EU are analysed. The main conclusions in the paper focus on the application of the term 'climate law' in the selected EU regulations. This is juxtaposed with the category of the legal system sensu stricto and sensu largo. The analysis carried out confirms the thesis that Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 June 2021 on the establishment of a framework for achieving climate neutrality should be classified as climate law sensu largo.

The study aims to assess the legal regulation and institutional framework for protecting and controlling public money in the United Arab Emirates, as well as comparing it with the provisions of Islamic sharia. The study begins with the concept of protecting public money, its importance, images, and types, and then analyzes the legal texts for the protection of public money in the UAE legislation and Islamic law. Then it identifies the challenges facing the protection and control of public money in the United Arab Emirates. The researcher relies in his study on the descriptive and analytical approach. The study reaches several results, the most important of which are: the UAE legislator protects the public money from any violation through a set of laws that forbid to dispose public money, its seize, or its acquisitive prescription. The study also reaches several recommendations, the most important of which are: the legislator has permitted to dispose public money in accordance with legal conditions and regulations. Thus, any disposal violation will be invalid. The study also recommends the necessity of continuous work on developing legislations that regulate and control the protection of public money in the UAE.

"This collection of scholarly and critical essays about the legal aspects of the Vietnam War explores the crimes of aggression committed by the United States against North Vietnam: war crimes by bombing civilian targets like schools and hospitals and by using napalm, cluster bombs, and Agent Orange; crimes against humanity by moving large parts of the population to so called "Strategic Hamlets"; and genocide. International Lawyer Richard Falk, who was able to observe these act in North Vietnam in 1968, uses International Law to show how they occurred. This book brings together essays he has written on the Vietnam War and its relationship to international law, American foreign policy, and the global world order. Falk argues that only a stronger adherence to International Law can save the world from such future tragedies and create a sustainable world order"--

Short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs), including methane, black carbon, hydrofluorocarbons, and tropospheric ozone, have become part of climate policy debates. Discussion has revolved around the potential of their mitigation to slow down global warming in the short term and bring about co-benefits, for instance, for air quality and public health. This book provides the first comprehensive analysis of global SLCP law and governance. A diverse array of contributors delves into the science and evolution of the concept of SLCPs, analyses the legal and governance responses developed under various international and transnational arenas, and discusses selected sectoral case studies
