Details

Natural resource wealth is conducive to a country's development. Nevertheless, the last few decades have shown a harsher reality, where natural resources have also triggered, financed or fuelled a number of internal armed conflicts.

Examples include the armed conflicts in Cambodia, Sierra Leone, Liberia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which have been financed with the exploitation of a variety of valuable natural resources, including diamonds, gold, timber, oil and cocoa.

The aim of this book is to assess the contribution of international law in ensuring that natural resources are used to promote development and to achieve sustainable peace instead of financing armed conflict. For this purpose, the author discusses the international legal framework for the governance of natural resources in States in general, in situations of armed conflict and as part of conflict resolution and post-conflict peacebuilding efforts.

1. Introduction

Part I. The Legal Framework for the Governance of Natural Resources in States:

2. Defining the right of peoples and States to freely exploit their natural resources: permanent sovereignty over natural resources

3. A closer look at peoples as subjects and beneficiaries of the principle of permanent sovereignty over natural resources

4. Environmental law obligations relevant for the governance of natural resources

Part II. The Governance of Natural Wealth and Resources in Situations of Armed Conflict:

5. The role of international human rights and environmental law in situations of armed conflict

6. Protection of natural resources and the environment under international humanitarian law

Part III. The Governance of Natural Resources as Part of Conflict Resolution and Post-Conflict Peacebuilding Efforts:

7. The UN Security Council and Resource-related Armed Conflicts

8. Addressing resource-related armed conflicts with informal normative processes

9. The contribution of international law to addressing the challenges ensuing from resource-related armed conflicts.
