- Abstract
In the emergence and development of international environmental law (IEL), an important role has been played by the triggering resolutions of the political and diplomatic processes of negotiation and adoption of the interstate ones related to the matter. Although of a recommendatory nature (soft law) and with mainly procedural points of reference, they have not confined themselves to establishing the framework for convening and preparing the conferences (Stockholm 1972, Rio de Janeiro 1992, Johannesburg 2002 or Rio+20, 2012), but also included elements of prefiguring the possible developments against the background of the related issues. In this perspective, UNGA resolution 2398 (XXIII) of 3 December 1968 on the first UN World Conference on the Human Environment (1972) played a significant role in the genealogy of international environmental law by suggesting significant elements of an ideational and substantive nature. Fifty years later, resolution of 24 May 2021 initiating the 2-3 June 2022 “Stockholm +50” meeting. Unfortunately, if in the first case the creative role and evolutionary prospects were optimistic, in the second the state of stagnation and crisis of IEL are also evident.
