Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA Sample Clauses

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA. It has been suggested that the duty of cooperation, through notification and consultation of uses, implies an obligation to undertake an environmental impact assessment (EIA) in order to determine what needs to be notified and to make such cooperation procedures meaningful.117 The process of 113 ILC Draft commentary, 2001, Article 8 and comment (3) (pp.406-407); Xxxxxx and Xxxxx, 2002, p. 319. The duty is included in e.g. Principle 24 of the Stockholm Declaration, Principle 7, 19 and 27 of the Rio Declaration, as well as in the 1997 Water Convention, Article 5(2), 7, 8. The fact that only 3 countries rejected the inclusion of the principle into the 1997 Water Convention further indicates its incorporation into international law (Xxxxxx and Xxxxx, 2002, p. 319). 114 Xxxxxx and Xxxxx, 2002, p. 319. 115 Lac Lanoux Arbitration (France v Spain), Award of 16 Nov 1957 24 ILR 101, p. 139 (par. 22). 116 Lac Lanoux Arbitration (France v Spain), Award of 16 Nov 1957 24 ILR 101, pp. 141- 142 (par. 24); Xxxxxx and Xxxxx, 2002, p. 321. 117 Nollkaemper, 1993, p. 181. The same view is held by Xxxxxx and Xxxxx, 2002, p. 131. According to FAO an EIA is: “A formal process to predict the environmental consequences of human development activities and to plan appropriate measures to eliminate or reduce adverse effects and augment positive effects” (xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/documents/show_cdr.asp?url_file=/docrep/V8350E/v8350e0f.htm 2005-02-28). conducting an EIA is also relevant in regard to the ‘no harm rule’. The duty not to cause transboundary harm must logically include an intrinsic risk assessment which needs to be quantified or else the duty will be of little relevance. One method of quantifying risk is through the creation of an EIA. The ILC Draft Convention on Prevention of transboundary harm from hazardous activities requires states to prevent or minimise the risk posed by harmful activities. ‘Risk’ in this sense includes both “risks taking the form of a high probability of causing significant transboundary harm and a low probability of causing disastrous transboundary harm”,118 implying that both the magnitude and the probability of harm should be taken into consideration. The practice of requiring an EIA has become a very widespread method to assess whether a particular activity has the potential of causing significant transboundary harm.119 The high number of countries with EIAs included in their national legislation as well as state practice, through international agreem...
