Article examines "the functions which the rules of State responsibility 

 perform in relation to a 'new' subject of international obligations — the en- 

 vironment — in an effort to foster the development of a suitable framework for 

 a world environmental order." In this context the author discusses the Trail 

 Smelter case involving the U.S. and Canada in order "to examine in some 

 detail the functioning or malfunctioning of traditional rules of State respon- 

 sibility for the protection of aliens, as applied to an environmental dispute."

Explains how environmental problems arising with development can be 

 mitigated by taking precautionarj^ measures. Paper proposes that the World 

 Bank Group continue its present project-by-project approach towards en-

The purpose of the research is to select, survey, and explore the possibilities 

 of actively applying the spectrum of existing international management and 

 regulatory techniques to the practical solution of six selected .scientific and 

 technological problems requiring international action, and to suggest condi- 

 tions under which these techniques might be applied toward the resolution 

 of technology-related trans-national policy issues. This report considers the 

 problem of pesticide residues in the world food supply. There are 7 sections: 

 international regulation of pesticide residues, the international dimension of 

 the problem, the establishment of Codex Alimentarius, other international 

 organizations dealing with pesticide residues, bilateral arrangements, CCPR 

 systems, and the U.S. in relation to international regulation.

The World Bank is divided into three branches, each with different loan 

 policies and criteria. This note examines "those policies and criteria from the 

 standpoint of financing environmental safeguards for proposed projects" 

 and reviews the current policy of the World Bank in this regard.

The experience and awareness growing from research activities leads to 

 several important concerns for policy makers: there is a need to move towards 

 a policy of conservation of our global air resources in its totality from earth's 

 surface to stratosphere; the technical data base and level of understanding 

 should be systematically improved for the rational implementation of 

 standards for the whole atmosphere; the U.S. should establish a focal point 

 for regional and global environmental assessments responsive to policy-
