Marine Pollution and International Law: Principles and Practices

By Douglas Brubaker

This is a detailed and fully documented examination of the applicable international law and precedent relating to the impact and control of and liability for pollution in international waters. Using the Barents Sea as an example to illustrate the points (although the legal argument and principles are universal), the author discusses pollution relating to mineral and oil exploration, fishing, navigation, dumping, accidents and so forth, and presents the current legal position in customary law and international convention. On this basis, he proposes a comprehensive Regional Sea Antipollution Agreement that should serve as a model for future international negotiations on the legal control of maritime pollution. It is an essential reference work for international lawyers and environmental managers.
