Due Diligence in International Law
Due Diligence in International Law identifies due diligence as the missing link between state responsibility and international liability. Acknowledged in all legal fields, it ensures international peaceful cooperation and prevents significant transboundary harm, yet it has thus far not been comprehensively discussed in literature. The present volume fills this void. Kulesza identifies due diligence as a principle of international law and traces its evolution throughout centuries. The no-harm principle, key to identifying responsibility for transboundary harm, focal to international environmental law and applicable to e.g. combating terrorism, follows states’ obligation of due diligence in preventing foreign harm. This obligation, present in various treaty-based and customary regimes is argued to be a principle of international public law applicable to all obligations of conduct.

Enacting Environmental Justice through Global Citizenship
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2014. This volume’s interdisciplinary research is based on the premise that we live an unsustainable global lifestyle. Finding ways to better inhabit our world is a challenge not only for scientists but also for civil society. One means of achieving sustainability is through promoting Environmental Justice. This volume contains both theoretical and case study analyses that propose methods for achieving and managing global environmental justice. Creating such an environmental equilibrium is a difficult goal, but the tools for reaching it simultaneously respond to many other challenging questions of the contemporary world. The ideal of just, sustainable development can induce efforts for solving inequity problems across many sectors.
