This book was released on 1993-11-18 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using research undertaken by a working party of AIDA, this work measures the progress made in defining and differentiating insurance coverage for the risk of liability for damage caused by environmental pollution. Policy clauses, endorsements and special forms used in 20 countries are analyzed and compared to identify the best method of distinguishing reliably between elements of pollution risk that can be included in standard coverages and those elements that are incalculable and unmanageable with conventional insurance tools.

Book Synopsis International Law and the Conservation of Biological Diversity by : Michael Bowman
Download or read book International Law and the Conservation of Biological Diversity written by Michael Bowman and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 1996-01-10 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work presents a thorough analysis of the biodiversity concept in international law and commentary on the 1992 United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity which was opened for signature following the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development. This Convention is the first international treaty explicitly to address all aspects of biodiversity ranging from the conservation and sustainable use of biological resources, to access to biotechnology and the safety of activities related to modified living organisms. The work extends beyond the ambit of the Convention itself to examine the conservation of biodiversity in international law generally, including measures for the protection of the terrestrial, marine and Antarctic environment and particular features relating to sustainable use of biological resources, ex-situ conservation and plant genetic resources. It further analyses the controversial issue of intellectual property rights, the problems of implementation in the European Union and the United States, differences between developing and developed states and the role of indigenous peoples. This major new work has been written by members of the Committee on Environmental Law of the British Branch of the International Law Association following an earlier study on the subject of International Law and Global Climate Change (Graham & Trotman, 1991). It is the first major study of the Convention of the context in which it was negotiated, and of the prospects for its implementation, following the entry into force of the Convention on 29 December 1993.
Book Synopsis The Law of Environmental Damage by : Larsson
Download or read book The Law of Environmental Damage written by Larsson and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2023-09-20 with total page 683 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its starting point within international law, throughout its progression from regional to national law, The Law of Environmental Damage combines the disciplines of environmental law, liability law and insurance in its analysis of the development of reparative environmental law. In the model adopted, three generations of reparative schemes are identified, based on civil liability or administrative liability or self-taken measures from the area of insurance. The analysis applied is based on factors of standard and designation of liability, as well as the definition and assessment of environmental damage. Issues such as environmental lender liability and damage to public natural resources are highlighted. The results of the study are evaluated within the framework of a theory of environmental efficiency; among other factors, the reparative effect of liability rules is discussed.

The distinguished team of contributors analyses the nature of the problem, international water law, legal and policy responses to water scarcity in selected regions, and the emergence of a new body of economic water law. Contributing experts in the field of water law and policy reveal the diverse and dynamic development of water law and the interaction between the legal and policy responses at the international, regional, and national levels. A result of the conference `Scarcity of Water, International, European and National Legal Aspects' held at the Faculty of Law of the Erasmus University, Rotterdam in October 1995, this book also contains a selection of papers presented at the conference.

Brocken and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 1996-04-26 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Conference on Codification of Environmental Law was organised on the occasion of the presentation of the Draft Decree on Environmental Policy to the Flemish government. The Draft Decree was prepared by the Interuniversity Commission for the Revision of Environmental Law in the Flemish Region. It codifies and revises environmental protection law and has, to a large extent, been influenced by EC Law. The conference provided a forum for the analysis of experiences and plans for codification in a number of EC Member States, the role of international law in the codification process and the essential procedural and substantive difficulties to be dealt with in codifying national environmental law. This book will be published in conjunction with the English version of the Draft Decree and its detailed analysis, a publication which has been sponsored by the Flemish government.
Book Synopsis Liability and Environment by : Lucas Bergkamp
Download or read book Liability and Environment written by Lucas Bergkamp and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 734 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liability and Environment analyzes the role of law, in particular civil liability, in controlling environmental pollution and risk. In modern environmental policy, liability has become a popular instrument. In this book, Prof. Bergkamp takes a fresh look at civil liability for environmental harm in an inter- and transnational context. Over the last decade, industry's liability exposure for environmental harm has expanded significantly. At the international, EC, and national level proposals for onerous strict environmental liability regimes are pending. The `polluter pays principle', which is an articulation of the `cost internalization' theory in the environmental area, is believed to justify such liability regimes. Applying an instrumental approach to legal instruments, Prof. Bergkamp aims to redefine the role of liability in the heavily regulated environmental area. He shows that liability for environmental harm is not justified by the polluter pays principle, is an uncertain and unreliable instrument for achieving prevention, results in an inefficient insurance scheme, and plays a dubious role in adjusting activity levels. Based on an analysis of the basic characteristics of alternative legal instruments, Prof. Bergkamp concludes that civil liability should play a more modest, limited role in an environmental law system dominated by public law. Where deterrence is not the objective, first party insurance, compensation funds, or other public law regimes should be preferred over liability rules. In addition to civil liability of private parties, Liability and Environment discusses State liability under international, EC, and national law. Under international law, breach of a primary obligation triggers a State's liability. Prof. Bergkamp argues that this rule should be applied also to liability of private parties. In the environmental area, a business' primary obligations are spelled out in detailed permit conditions, regulations, and statutes. According to Prof. Bergkamp, only if a primary obligation is breached, a private person should be liable for environmental harm. The system that Bergkamp advocates is an objective fault liability regime, in which public environmental law defines the standard of care for both government and industry. "In rebuilding our civil liability system, we should keep in mind that what is good for industry should be good for everyone (or it is not good for anyone), we should keep in mind that what is good for private parties should be good for the state (or it is not good for either). In rebuilding our civil liability system, the international law of State responsibility, which is unpolluted by risk spreading and activity level considerations, will guide us a long way." This book is aimed at advanced law students, academic scholars, and practitioners. In addition, it will be of interest to policy and legislative analysts, legislators, and government officials. Professor Bergkamp's book cannot be described as "solving" the problems of legal and regulatory control of environmental harm, whether within a nation or internationally. As suggested before, however, the very idea of a "solution" is illusory. All legal and regulatory regimes around the world are today and will remain for the future in a state of perpetually continuing development. The virtue of this fine book is that it moves the process of that development forward by a very substantial measure. from the Foreword by George L. Priest.

Book Synopsis Transition and Sustainability:Actors and Interests in Eastern European Environmental Policies by : Bernd Baumgartl
Download or read book Transition and Sustainability:Actors and Interests in Eastern European Environmental Policies written by Bernd Baumgartl and published by Springer. This book was released on 1997-07-07 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study links two major themes in European Social Science in the 1990s: The transition of Eastern Europe And The question of sustainable development. Are environmental difficulties in this time and place just a component of European transitional difficulties generally? Or, conversely, are European transitional difficulties themselves a product of environmental problems? This work analyses both views with an interdisciplinary approach and argues that sustainable development takes on a specific meaning in the context of transition. Transition and Sustainability documents the history of environmental policy in Bulgaria based on both western and eastern sources, identifying the relevant actors For The Eastern European environment and their interests. While recognising the dominance of non-environmental issues like the emergence of parties, privatisation or restitution of property, and economic restraints on Europe during post-Communist transition, The text proposes that concrete policy recommendations may result in sustainable development for transitioning economies.
