Book Vessel Source Pollution and Coastal State Jurisdiction

Download or read book Vessel Source Pollution and Coastal State Jurisdiction written by Erik Franckx and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-09-06 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After seven years of work, the Committee on Coastal State Jurisdiction Relating to Marine Pollution of the International Law Association concluded its work by submitting its final report for discussion at the occasion of the London conference, July 25-29, 2000. This book brings together the different official reports submitted by this Committee at the 1996 Helsinki, 1998 Taipei, and 2000 London conferences, as well as some preparatory documents necessary for the correct understanding of these just-mentioned reports. The Committee concentrated its work on vessel-source pollution and made it a central objective of its work to produce results which could facilitate the interpretation of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. During its work, it became moreover apparent that an accurate assessment of state practice proved more than once problematic either because of problems relating to interpretation or simply because the basic information was missing. For that reason, the present book contains a special section where different members of the Committee prepared detailed national reports, written according to a strict outline worked out for this purpose, in order to shed additional light on the specific issues dealt with by the Committee. Together with the conclusions arrived at by the Committee these additional national reports represent a valuable statement of the present-day status iuris questionis.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'importance du droit de la mer n'est plus à démontrer au regard des problèmes actuels que constituent la surexploitation des stocks de poissons, les marées noires et l'état parfois inquiétant des navires. Depuis la consécration de la zone économique exclusive (ZEE) par la Convention des Nations Unies sur le droit de la mer de 1982, les Etats côtiers disposent en effet de droits importants sur cette zone maritime s'étendant au large jusqu'à une distance de 200 milles marins. Le présent ouvrage dresse un tableau de la pratique relative à la ZEE quelque deux décennies après la signature de la Convention des Nations Unies sur le droit de la mer, en tenant compte de la pratique des Etats et également de celle des organisations internationales et des ONG. The importance of the law of the sea has become self-evident in the light of current issues such as overexploitation of fisheries resources, oil sticks and unseaworthy ships. Since the establishment of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) by the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, coastal States have enjoyed important rights over this maritime zone, which extends 200 nautical miles from the coastline. This book takes stock of how practice has developed with respect to the EEZ some 20 years after the signature of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, on the basis of State practice and also the practice of international organizations and NGOs.

Book Criminal Jurisdiction over Perpetrators of Ship Source Pollution

Download or read book Criminal Jurisdiction over Perpetrators of Ship Source Pollution written by Alla Pozdnakova and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2012-09-03 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Criminal Jurisdiction over Perpetrators of Ship-Source Pollution: International Law, State Practice and EU Harmonisation provides a thorough analysis of criminal jurisdiction over the perpetrators of ship-source pollution. Criminal sanctions for discharge violations committed by sea-going vessels represent an issue of critical concern in the field of International Law, given the many devastating pollution cases which have occurred at sea, and the multitude of complications inherent in the criminal prosecution of the perpetrators of these pollution cases. The varying substantive and geographical reach of any given State’s criminal law poses unique challenges in prosecution, addressed in a comprehensive discussion which includes limitations posed by the UN Law of the Sea Convention. Additionally, consequences arising from the potential conflict between the EU harmonization measures within the field, and UNCLOS are detailed in the monograph. Lawyers, academics, and legal researchers, will appreciate Criminal Jurisdiction over Perpetrators of Ship-Source Pollution: International Law, State Practice and EU Harmonisation as a thorough source of information on the existing rules and practice in criminal cases involving pollution violations from ships.

Book Coastal State Regulation of International Shipping

Download or read book Coastal State Regulation of International Shipping written by Lindy Sue Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While much has been written on the navigation rights and freedoms set forth in the Law of the Sea Convention, this book takes a fundamentally different approach - by looking at international shipping from the perspective of coastal states and their desire to protect their resources and marine environment from damage by international shipping. As the potential risk of damage by shipping increases because of the increases in the volume and composition of ships and the varying array of cargo carried, coastal states' interest in protecting their resources and environment will only become more acute and they will seek to act. This work addresses the four major jurisdictional areas of most interest to coastal states: · the port · the territorial sea · the contiguous zone · the exclusive economic zone Three specific examples are used to illustrate the points raised in the discussion: ship strikes of the North Atlantic right whale, the unwanted transfer of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens through discharges of ships ballast water, and wastewater discharges from cruise ships. The conflict between a coastal state's interest in regulating navigation off its coast and ship owners' interest in limiting such regulation is an old yet ongoing one. Coastal states have an obvious interest in participating in global trade and thus in shipping; however, this interest does not necessarily supersede their desire to regulate shipping in order to protect their resources and the marine environment. This book explores the significant changes that have taken place over the last two decades in the shipping industry and coastal states' interests. It reviews the provisions of the 1982 U.N. Law of the Sea Convention with regard to the actions a coastal state may take to regulate international shipping, while remaining within the boundaries of the Law of the Sea Convention and customary international law. This volume provides coastal states with guidance in protecting their interests and yet recognizes the rights and duties accorded to navigation interests by the treaty.
