Populærvitenskapelig sammendrag av ph.d.-avhandlingen:
At present, international law does not contain any one instrument that would have been designed to target the global plastics problem as a whole. The aim of this dissertation is to understand the science and root causes behind the problem and the role of international law and States in contributing to solutions. Unlike earlier legal research, this study approaches the global plastics problem threatening the marine environment as a continuum of three sub-problems comprising extensive plastics wastes generation, plastics leakage to the oceans, and accumulating marine plastics pollution (MPP). This approach unfolds a problem-based doctrinal and interdisciplinary assessment of international law. An international legal response to the global plastics problem arises from a mix of diverse measures coming together.
