Resumen

The greater part of this study consists of the mapping and analysis of state practice in respect of the precautionary principle. Pertinent treaties, declarations, decisions of international organizations and domestic instruments pass in review. The book then applies the generally accepted principles governing the formation of customary international law to this body of state practice. Relevant international judical decisions and the opinion of scholars are treated as well. Two extensive annexes are added, reproducing provisions of international legal instruments that make reference to the principle.
