International Hybrid Law


Introduction


International Hybrid Law is a legal research tool which allows to examine a climate change from three primary perspectives: environmental law, human rights and refugee law. It begins with environmental degradation, leading to violation of number of human rights and inevitably to human mobility.

Concept


Hybrid law creates an interrelation between three branches of international law – environmental law, human rights and refugee or migration law. Under Hybrid Law, one cannot address environmental degradation - including climate change - without taking into account human rights and/ or migration. This analysis is applicable to all environmental degradation events and disasters, regardless of whether the process is slow (such as sea-level rise, salinization, etc.) or rapid (flooding, extreme storms, etc.).
