• Notes: "This volume is one of the outcomes of the project 'International legal obligations related to Prevention, Preparedness, Response and Recovery from CBRN events and status of their implementation in Italy - CBRN-Italy' (ref. no. 20175M8L32), which has been funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research as a Research Project of National Relevance. The CBRN-Italy project has been carried out since 2019 by the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna (which is also the lead partner of the Project), the University of Bologna, the University of Florence and the University of Turin ... This volume traces its origin to a number of events organised (in person and online) within the framework of the CBRN-Italy project to discuss the findings of research activities carried out by contributors..."--ECIP Preface.

"The volume investigates to what extent the international and European Union legal frameworks applicable to Chemical, Biological and Radio-Nuclear (CBRN) events are adequate to face current challenges. It is innovative in many aspects: it adopts an all-hazard approach to CBRN risks, focusing on events of intentional, accidental and natural origin; it explores international obligations according to the four phases of the emergency cycle, including prevention, preparedness, response and recovery; and it covers horizontal issues such as protection of human rights, international environmental law, new technologies, the role of private actors, as well as enforcement mechanisms and remedies available to victims. The book thus offers a new way of looking at the applicable rules of international law in this field"-- Provided by publisher.
