What evidence is there that the American Society for International Law takes an active and formative influence in the development of international environmental law?
The American Society of International Law stemmed for the 19th century American peace movement. Within the peace movement were lawyers who thought that a permanent arbitral system was needed, with arbitrators who would apply codified rules of international law as a substitute for the use of force to settle international disputes, much as judges in domestic court systems apply rules of domestic law as an alternative to violent settlement of disputes between individuals (www.asil.org) The end of World War II and the creation of the United Nations gave the Society a chance to influence the development of international law. The Society was particularly interested in the judicial arm of the United Nations, the International Court of Justice. The American Society of International Law believed in institutional neutrality but adopted a resolution that strongly favors the acceptance of ICJ’s compulsory jurisdiction.
