Comments on “An International Regime for Environmental Protection,” by Rt. Hon. Professor Sir Geoffrey Palmer

Abstract

The saga of the Montreal Protocol recounted by former Prime Minister Palmer demonstrates the limits of even successful treaties: the process is cumbersome and time-consuming, and agreements are not easily policed. International regimes are emerging quickly measured by the timescales of international law and procedure, but perhaps not nearly fast enough to avoid environmental disaster.
