Abstract
- The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and other international agreements, in particular those concerning the protection of the marine environment against oil pollution, provide for an individual liability of polluters. There has been an increasing trend to hold individuals or corporations liable for oil pollution damage. No such trend exists in respect of State liability, neither subsidiary in cases where the individual polluter does not provide compensation, nor in cases where environmental damage results from the violation of a State's own non-compliance of international environmental obligations. In respect of the latter general international law on state responsibility is of relevance.1 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
