The Interface between International Law Theory and Environmental Treaty Negotiation : An Experience of "Professor-Diplomat"

本研究的目的是分析国际法理论与环境条约谈判之间的界面，以突出一般国际法理论如何为新兴条约体系提供框架并建立基础。在某些情况下，例如在环境责任制度领域，“教授-外交家”所提倡的一般理论反映在条约制度中。然而，在其他情况下，谈判方面的政治考虑压倒了要求与一般条约解释理论保持一致的要求，创造了特殊制度，进一步使国际法支离破碎。

The purpose of this study was to analyze the interface between the international legal theories and the environmental treaty negotiations, in order to highlight how general international law theories put the framework on and establish the foundations for the emerging treaty systems. In certain cases, for example in the field of environmental liability regimes, the general theory advocated by "professor-diplomats" was reflected in the treaty system. However, in other cases, the political considerations on the negotiating ground overwhelmed the plea for consistency with general theories of treaty interpretation and created special regimes, furthering the fragmentation of international law.
