High risk vessels -- 2. Coastal States' jurisdiction under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea -- 3. Significance of the precautionary principle in marine law -- 4. Practical applications of the precautionary principle in marine law -- 5. Application of the precautionary principle to vessel-source pollution."The book examines whether the jurisdiction of coastal States under international law can be extended to include powers of intervention towards vessels posing a significant risk to their coastal and marine environment, but which have not yet been involved in any incident or accident. The books sets out how it is that coastal State jurisdiction can indeed be seen as including powers of intervention towards High Risks Vessels before an incident or accident happens, on the basis of the precautionary principle. The precautionary principle requires taking action when a risk of damage to the environment is suspected, but cannot be confirmed scientifically.The book thus considers the potential opportunities for the coastal state under international law to regulate international shipping where they consider vessels to be an unacceptable risk to the environment, in order to prevent or minimise the risk of occurrence of the accident or incident leading to damage. The book acknowledges that this puts into question some very old and established principles of the law of the sea, most importantly the principle of freedom of navigation. But Benedicte Sage-Fuller contends that this change would itself be a consequence of the evolution, since the end of WWII, of on the one hand international law of the sea itself, and of international environmental law on the other hand. During the writing process the author consulted maritime government departments and maritime safety agencies so as well as considering issues of jurisdiction the book also addresses the practical considerations inherent in protecting coasts from environmental harm"--Provided by publisher.Routledge Research in International Environmental LawMarine pollutionLaw and legislationShippingEnvironmental aspectsLiability for environmental damagesTransboundary pollutionLaw and legislationEnvironmental law, InternationalMarine pollutionLaw and legislation.ShippingEnvironmental aspects.Liability for environmental damages.Transboundary pollutionLaw and legislation.Environmental law, International.344.04/6343LAW000000LAW034000LAW066000bisacshSage-Fuller Benedicte.1572306MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779704703321The precautionary principle in marine environmental law3847133UNINA
