Translated from the Russian from Voprosy �:Ekonomiki no. 4, 1980 by Irene Gross.

Notwithstanding recent & promising developments, general public international law does not play a major role in addressing pressing international environmental concerns. International environmental law is treaty law, based on & further guiding the cooperation of states in view of a certain environmental objective. Such treaty systems foster scientific research & promote awareness for the environmental issue at hand. They serve as a basis for a step-by-step development of standards & facilitate a fair sharing of burdens. Implementation & compliance are issues of particular importance in the treaties. Often, specific noncompliance procedures are provided that considerably depart from general international law enforcement mechanisms. To a large extent, international environmental regimes rely on & foster the participation of nongovernmental actors. Adapted from the source document.

"Die EU befindet sich in einem Dilemma. Dieses wird durch die Diskrepanz zwischen Legitimität und Effektivität generiert sowie durch die Erweiterung auf 25 bzw. 27 Länder forciert - und lässt sich auch durch eine (häufig vorgeschlagene) 'volle Parlamentarisierung' nicht auflösen." (Autorenreferat)
