International non-governmental organizations, 'Soft Law' and protection of environment

The article deals with the role the international non-governmental organizations play in the process of creating of contemporary international environmental law. As in some other fields of international law today, the INGOs participate in the creation of international environmental law mostly through their influence on the negotiation process at the international conferences, but also through the creation of so-called “soft law” instruments introducing some general principles which, although not legally binding, may influence the states’ behavior. Such influence, however, does not exclude the possibility of transformation of such principles and rules contained in these “soft law” instruments into customary law creating the legal obligations for states.
