'This volume presents an excellent and long overdue assessment of international law as related to the use of natural resources. Its analytical focus on the triad of international human rights, environmental and economic law provides deep insights into the often disjointed nature of this body of law. The research agenda set out in the concluding chapter highlights that there is analytical work to be done. A must read for anyone interested the topic!'
