Law and Justice an the Global Environment; Challenges and Responses

Abstract

The rapid expansion of the scope of International law in the past few decades has had a significant impact on States. Law and justice stands prominently in this respect. Adoption of international standards within domestic jurisdictions and scrutiny of law enforcements within domestic jurisdictions by the international community has remarkably grown. This has restricted the traditional concept of Sovereignty. The international community has identified areas of international concern and has taken giant strides in promoting protective measures through law enforcement. Some of the areas that have come within this scope are Human Rights, Humanitarian Law, Restriction of destructive armament, and Global environment. Accountability of individuals and the right of individuals to enforce claims against State entities are been considerably developed. Domestic legal structures and enforcement need to be restructured and revised to meet international standards and international scrutiny. This paper would consider challenges faced by States in the Global environment in light of the above aspects
