THE INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT OF THE COASTAL AREAS A "SOFT " PARADIGM OF THE ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL LAW

Summary/Abstract: Due to the excess of the production and consumption systems, the durable development (DD) became, after the Summit of Rio (1992), the keystone of the approaches related to the economy, society as well as the ecology. In fact, the interconnection between these three factors became too crucial in order to exploit the natural resources and, at the same time, to keep them for the future generations.It is in this context the Integrated Management of the Coastal Areas came into existence (IMCA ), just after the Summit of Rio within the frame of chapter 17 of the Diary 21 (or action 21), in order to save, protect and transmit our natural patrimony to the future generations. Since its development, the IMCA has become a source of ambiguities, not only at the level of its integration in the internal orders of the States but also at the level of its application (even by the developed countries).
