  • Maritime Accidents with Particular Emphasis on Liability and Compensation for Damage from the Exploitation of Mineral Resources of the Seabed
    International Disaster Response Law, 2012
    Co-Authors: Tulio Scovazzi
    Abstract:

    Maritime casualties can affect both human life and the protection of the environment. The United Nations Convention on the Law of Sea binds States to effectively exercise their jurisdiction and control in administrative, technical, and social matters over ships flying their flag, conforming to generally accepted international regulations, procedures, and practices. International rules related to maritime accidents are also found in a number of specific treaties adopted at either the world or the regional level and relating to both the prevention of accidents and Compensation of Damage if an accident has taken place. The paper focuses on the 2010 incident caused by the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon platform in the Gulf of Mexico.

  • Liability and Compensation for Damage Resulting from CO2 Storage Sites
    William and Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review, 2016
    Co-Authors: Michael Faure
    Abstract:

    Many believe that carbon capture and storage (CCS), involving the capture and permanent storage of CO2, could provide an important contribution to climate change policy especially for those countries where further abatement of CO2 emissions (mitigation) may be very costly. Some even argue that CCS is unavoidable especially given the world’s largest economies deep commitment to fossil fuels. Many regulators are now increasingly interested in CCS, but questions also arise concerning the necessary regulatory framework to structure CCS.

  • Economic models of Compensation for Damage caused by nuclear accidents: Some lessons for the revision of the Paris and Vienna Conventions
    European Journal of Law and Economics, 1995
    Co-Authors: Michael Faure
    Abstract:

    In this paper the economic analysis of accident law is used to examine the liability for nuclear accidents. It is argued that the classic system of individual liability of a nuclear power plant operator with a financial cap on Compensation and individual insurance by national pools is not effective. The current system leads to a too low Compensation for victims and lacks an adequate internalization of the nuclear risk. Hence, it is argued that the economic analysis of law can provide useful insights for the revision of the Paris and Vienna Conventions on the liability for nuclear accidents. It is also argued that higher amounts of Compensation can be generated only if the idea is accepted that all plants share the costs of an accident wherever it occurs. This could be realized through a mutual pooling system. Such a system could also be fitted into the revision of the Paris and Vienna Conventions.

  • attempting an interim conclusion preconditions for an effective legal regime on liability and Compensation
    2015
    Co-Authors: Jan Albers
    Abstract:

    The application of the customary principle of State responsibility to Damage resulting from the transboundary movement of hazardous wastes by sea as well as the application of civil liability conventions, whether in force or not, to such movements have been outlined in the previous chapter. As an overall result, it has been ascertained that the current legal situation at the international level regarding liability and Compensation for Damage resulting from hazardous waste movements is insufficient and unsatisfactory. The question now must be whether the Protocol to the Basel Convention can be regarded as an appropriate and effective solution and what can be done to encourage ratification of this convention. To this end, a first step entails examining in this chapter the basic preconditions for a feasible liability regime.

  • The 1999 Basel Protocol on Liability and Compensation

  • Compensation for Damage of Public Facilities
    Journal of Southwest Institute For Ethnic Groups, 2002
    Co-Authors: Zhou Yun-fa
    Abstract:

    It is not necessarily more advanced to pay the Damage caused by the public facilities through state indemnity. The key is how to provide effective and enough protection for the victims. In China, Compensation by civil procedure is more practical since our system of subject can not keep pace with the development of management of public facilities.
