This open-access book delves into the governance and legal framework of the global commodity sector, exploring both Global Commodity Governance (GCG) and Transnational Commodity Law (TCL). The author aims to provide a comprehensive examination of these topics, defining key terms, outlining the legal foundation of TCL, and assessing its effectiveness in fostering a functional commodity sector.

Sustainable Commodity Use is grounded in a thorough analysis of over 250 international agreements, standards, and guiding documents. The author distills the key findings into a conceptualization of TCL, offering a concise overview of its normative configurations and identifying regulatory gaps. Additionally, a taxonomy of International Commodity Agreements is presented. An appendix to the main text outlines the normative substance of TCL.

In the conclusion, the author makes practical suggestions for designing rules regulating commodity activities de lege ferenda to enhance the effectiveness of law governing transnational commodity activity. The book demonstrates the application of the sustainable use principle as the overarching objective and purpose of TCL, discussing International Commodity Agreements as potential regulatory instruments.

This book is intended to serve as a valuable resource for lawmakers, practitioners, civil society advocates, and academics across the globe in developing a legal framework for sustainable global commodity activity.
