ABSTRACT

The pervasive nature of the global environmental problems makes the participation of developing countries in international initiatiyes an imperative. The industrialised countries of the North are mostly responsible for the creation of major global environmental problems. Accordingly, equity issues became crucial in developing the relevant respoAse measures at the international level. Negotiations conducted between the countries . of the North and the South in the areas of ozone depletion, climate change and bio-diversity destruction with a view to developing regulatory regimes, reveal certain fundamental shifts in the international community's treaty practice. During the negotiations, the South has been relatively in disadvantageous position. This article while reviewing the negotiation strategies, draws certain important lessons for developing countries, in general and for Bangladesh, in particular, which can provide important guidance in shaping their future course of action.
