Extract

Though environmental protection is an urgent problem today, the notion as such has only emerged as a legal term in the last 30 years. It was, broadly speaking, not earlier than the 1960's that states began to enact increasingly comprehensive national laws for the protection of their internal environment. If national legislation in this field is a relatively new phenomenon, the conclusion of special international agreements for the protection of the environment is an even more recent activity.
