Description
During the 1960s and 1970s, considerable economic inequalities led third world countries, seeking economic development, to demand that a new international economic order be established. The law responded to these economic inequalities by developing the concept of differential treatment with regard to the respective treaty obligations of the states. Since the 1970s, the international community, which already exhibited economic and social consciousness, also developed greater environmental awareness. It was in this context that the concept of "common but differentiated responsibilities" was formulated. The aim of this article is to analyze the origins and evolution of common but differentiated responsibilities in international environmental law, while drawing attention to the most striking contraste in respect to the special and differential treatment of the multilateral trading system and the common but differentiated responsibilities of international environmental law. The author hopes te lay the foundations for a truly crosscutting analysis of differential treatment.
