About the Author
About the United Nations Intellectual History Project
Managing natural resources and promoting sustainable development
Nico Schrijver holds the Chair of International Law and is Academic Director of the Grotius Centre for International Legal Studies at Leiden University. He is author of The Evolution of Sustainable Development in International Law: Inception, Meaning, and Status and Sovereignty over Natural Resources: Balancing Rights and Duties.
"This timely study makes a seminal contribution to understanding the management of natural resources in the context of changing economic, environmental, and social realities... Schrijver's work shows how research undertaken by the UN is contributing to the search for solutions to today's main challenge: safeguarding the global commons for tomorrow, while providing a decent quality of life for all." Supachai Panitchpakdi, Secretary-General of the UN Conference on Trade and Development "Schrijver's thorough account of the achievements of the UN across the field of natural resource management enables him both to assess that contribution and to make realistic, practical suggestions for improvement." James Crawford, University of Cambridge
