Original: Climate Advisory Opinions and the Emergence of General Principles
International lawyers are examining how advisory opinions on climate change are shaping the recognition of general principles of international law. The discussion focuses on recent requests to courts such as the International Court of Justice and the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, and what their reasoning could mean for states' climate obligations. Scholars are debating whether these opinions mark a shift in how climate duties are legally grounded.
