Abstract

After the Rio Earth Summit, 'sustainable development' turned out to be a major concern and area of focus of the global community. Principally through state practices, this concept of development has over the years become a principle of international law. Adoption of Agenda 21 brings the issue of sustainable development of coastal zone to the forefront of global agenda. Increased threat of sea-level rise due to climate change is another factor that has made the issue so important. Integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) is now recognized as a major process for ensuring sustainable development of the coastal area. Set against this background, this chapter briefly analyzes the international legal framework for ICZM.
