 * Harj Narulla instructed by Solomon Islands in the International Court of
   Justice advisory proceedings on climate change

HARJ NARULLA INSTRUCTED BY SOLOMON ISLANDS IN THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE
ADVISORY PROCEEDINGS ON CLIMATE CHANGE

Harj Narulla has been acting as counsel for Solomon Islands in the landmark
climate change proceedings before the International Court of Justice (ICJ),
the Request for an Advisory Opinion on the Obligations of States with Respect to
Climate Change. 

Earlier this week, the Registrar of the ICJ accepted the written statement of
Solomon Islands, which addresses the questions put to the Court by the United
Nations General Assembly, adopted in Resolution A/77/L.58. 

The Court will provide an advisory opinion on the obligations of States under
international law to protect the climate system and the environment from
anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. The Court will also consider the legal
consequences for States if they are in breach of these obligations in relation
to climate change. In particular, the Court will be addressing State
responsibility for harm caused to small island developing States, such as
Solomon Islands. 

The case will consider broad areas of law, including international human rights
law, international environmental law, general and customary international law,
and the law of the sea. The case is occurring in the context of related advisory
proceedings on climate change before the International Tribunal for the Law of
the Sea and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and the Court is expected
to provide a definitive interpretation of the law developed in these
proceedings. Harj has worked across these three cases, previously advising an
intergovernmental organisation in relation to ITLOS, and will be at the hearings
of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in Barbados and Brazil.

Harj is instructed by Solomon Islands Attorney-General John Muria, Principal
Crown Counsel Freliz Fakarii, and the Pro Bono team at DLA Piper. 

Harj recently chaired an event on the climate change advisory opinions, which
can be viewed here.
