The 1972 Stockholm Declaration at 50: Reflecting on a Half-Century of International Environmental Law
On Friday, October 8, 2021, the Georgia Journal of International Law will be hosting
their annual conference. This year, the conference is entitled: “The 1972 Stockholm
Declaration at 50: Reflecting on a Half-Century of International Environmental Law.”
The 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment produced the “Stockholm
Declaration,” an environmental manifesto that forcefully declared a human right to
environmental health and birthed the field of modern international environmental law.
In celebration of its 50th anniversary volume, the Georgia Journal of International
and Comparative Law is convening a symposium to reflect on the first 50 years of international
environmental law and the lessons this history may hold for the future.
