摘要
自1992年里约热内卢人类环境与发展会议之后,"可持续发展"已成为了多边国际环境法律框架的核心概念,但这种核心地位从法律角度看究竟具有何种意义,学术界争议颇多。笔者认为,从《国际法院规约》第38条所指示的各项国际法法源入手,分析"可持续发展"概念,是准确把握其法律意涵的正确途径。通过分析我们发现,"可持续发展"概念能够通过多边环境公约或双边条约的接纳取得一定的规范意义,但就司法判例和学说的现状看,其距离成为国际习惯规则还有相当大的差距。总体上看,"可持续发展"是统摄性的"环境政治伦理"概念,目前还主要属于所谓"软法"的范畴。
Since the 1992 Rio de Janeiro environmental conference, the ＂sustainable development＂ has become a core concept among the multilateral environmental legal framework. However, the legal position of this concept is uncertain. In this article, it is thought of the effective way to derive the exact legal significance of the ＂sustainable development＂ through analysis of various sources of international law that referred to in Article 38, the statute of the ICJ. Through analysis, it is found that on one hand the ＂sustainable development＂ do contain certain normative significance by admission of multilateral or bilateral environmental treaties, on the other hand there is a long way to go before it becomes an international customary rule from the perspective of present legal theory and precedents. On the whole,＂ sustainable development＂ is a general concept of political environment ethic; therefore, until today it yet belongs to the field of ＂soft law＂.
