Description

This work examines the international laws governing the marine environment on two levels. First, the author examines the rules of state responsibility applicable to breaches of international norm, the specific rules of state environmental obligation and the pattern of state legal authority over the seas. Second, the author analyzes the intersection of these three bodies of law to deduce the rules governing marine environmental responsibility. The conclusion of this book is a set of rules - present in proceeding from customary international law, responsive to such complexities - a working framework for analyzing the international legal consequences of any environmental injury.
