Abstract

This chapter examines the feasibility of developing an international instrument on site contamination, whether in binding or non-binding form. It discusses the notion of ‘common concern’ and similar concepts, with reference to site contamination and other environmental issues. Particular attention is paid to the reasons why binding global agreements have been achieved for some environmental issues, but not others, and the lessons to be drawn from this. The appropriate form and content of a possible international instrument on site contamination are discussed. The prospects of such an instrument are considered, and recommendations are made as to the most practical approach to be taken at the global level.
