    Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

    Abstract

    This article focuses on the events leading to the World Summit and charts how sustainable development has developed. Discussion begins with the history of sustainable development as a concept followed by an analysis of the difficulties posed by the lack of a precise definition. Its progress post the Earth Summit will be reviewed and the question as to whether it is a principle of international law will be canvassed. Its future as envisaged in the World Summit will also be examined followed by some concluding comments.
