Although acid rain and ozone layer depletion are highly-publicized issues, they have not received the legal attention they warrant. This detailed analysis fills this gap. With a thorough scientific background and a review of technically feasible countermeasures, it addresses the applicable rules of international law, exposing the tension between the traditional concept of sovereignty and the need for international cooperation.

Some twenty-five years ago, John Ruggie defined "multilateralism" in
terms that remain apposite today. As an international lawyer, this
definition prompts me to reflect on the connections between the
international legal order and multilateralism. To be sure, international law
has unilateral, bilateral, and multilateral features, for example in
lawmaking or law enforcement. Similarly, it can be wielded to unilateral,
bilateral, or multilateral ends. Indeed, it is precisely because it
transcends ends and issue areas, that international law, by providing
"generalized" principles of conduct and interaction, is an important
component of multilateralism.
