N. Abedinpour Regards on Tuvalu — Thoughts on State responsibility and climate changes.

Abstract: In the Kyoto Protocol (1995) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (1992) State-parties agreed on targets for the emission of greenhouse gasses (GHGs). This article involves analysis of hypothetical possibilities of lawsuit in ICJ for Tuvalu, which is a tiny island state in the Pacifi c Ocean that has ratifi ed the Kyoto Protocol, and that is a UN Member State. Tuvalu, which is expected to sink by 2050 is an obvious example of the real dangers of the GHGs.
