Judges play a critical role in the development, enforcement and compliance with environmental law. To showcase the role of the judiciary in upholding the rule of law, IUCN organized a Judiciary Day at its 2004 World Conservation Congress in Bangkok. This publication contains papers and speeches covering some of the cutting-edge themes that were discussed. It is hoped that these proceedings will enable a wide community of readers to better understand the crucial role of the judiciary in achieving the goals of sustainable development and nature conservation.
Papers and speeches from an IUCN Environmental Law Programme side event at the 3rd IUCN World Conservation Congress (WCC) held in Bangkok, Thailand, 17-25 November 2004.
