| Research Abstract |
This research was subject to "sustainable development law" as legal concept to protect global environment, and a survey was made of the process of development on the notion of "sustainable development", which had been supported as the fundamental principle to protect the environment since 1980s. As the result, it was found that sustainable development was regarded as the concept to reconcile environmental protection with economic development in the actions of the UN and most multilateral environmental agreements. In addition, the survey pointed toward expansion in this concept to integrate environmental, economic and social elements of development. On the other hand, it was clear that legal meaning of this concept became more ambiguous by the introduction of market mechanism into many regimes of the environmental protection.
