Introduction
Definition of Liability for environmental
damage
Liability: the state of being legally responsible for
the activities that cause harmful damage to the
environment.
: Obligation based on the principle that a polluting
party should pay for any and all damages caused to
the environment by its activities.
Type of legal liability
 Civil liability
 Administrative liability
 Criminal liability
State responsibility in international wrongful acts
The draft article on the state responsibility for unlawful
acts was adopted in 2001 by ILC.
 Two important elements of internationally wrongful
act of state:
 The violation of International obligation occurs when
states conduct pollution or damage
 The breach of an obligation occurs when an act of that
state violate or does not do what is required
Others
 State is responsible for an action it has allowed
 State is under an obligation to compensate the
injuries caused by its acts.
 If two or more states have agreed to engage in
conduct and one state is fail and pollute the
environment, they are all responsible.
International Liability
• The concept of international liability
has two distinct requirement:
The requirement to pay for the
damages
The requirement to prevent, enforce
and negotiate
Compared to the state responsibility, international
responsibility includes both:
Primary rule: Prevention of Transboundary
Harm from Hazardous Activities
Secondary rule: Draft principle on the
allocation of loss in the case of transboundary
harm arising out of hazardous activities.
