摘要：
This Article reinterprets the 1976 Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques (ENMOD) to show how it might rationally strengthen protections for the environment against intentional damage by states, particularly during armed conflict. The Article applies the orthodox rules of treaty interpretation to analyze in depth the Convention text, the travaux pr & eacute;paratoires, and available subsequent state practice, aiming to determine how the somewhat opaque Article II of ENMOD and its definition of environmental modification technique is best understood. It concludes that ENMOD has a broader potential application than it has historically been given.
