Abstract
In any human relationship touching on substantial and positive actions of promises, duties, obligations, rights, infringements and so on, disputes are prone to occur at one stage or the other. The need for justice and equity in such relationships that are substantially bound by law and other legal documents demands that disputes which are both humanly and obviously envisaged are settled one way or the other in order to fastrack and make way for further positive engagements between parties. These parties could be states or private individuals in their natural and legal capacities. Thus, a settlement profile would be either domestic or international in nature. Therefore, in environmental relationships or actions of international standard – breaches and infringements leading to disputes are duly settled to proffer remediations and institute discontinuation of the offending action. To properly capture the aim and objectives of this seminar paper, it would critically initially examine and analyse ways and means including processes of settlement of international environmental law disputes for cordial relationships amongst states. This study adopts the doctrinal research methodology, in which both primary and secondary sources were extensively consulted. In the end, far-reaching findings were also made, in order to recommend further studies in the field of settlement of international law disputes. The author suggests elaborate recommendations, that would fastrack settlements of international environmental law disputes to further engender amicable relationships between disputing state parties. The paper also provided insights about the impacts of political corruption on environmental dispute and other environmental matters. The analyses were clearly followed by a compelling conclusion and some recommendations.
