Prevention of radioactive pollution and modifications to the law of the sea

Description

Prevention of radioactive marine pollution and modifications to the law of the sea are discussed on the basis of the work elaborated by the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea. The purpose of the planned measures is to grant States the competence and powers required to protect the marine environment, given abusive practices. It is also emphasized that, according to proposals made at the Caracas meeting in 1974 and at the Geneva meeting in 1975, modernisation of the law of the sea will concern particularly a strenthening of the rights and powers of coastal States and the sanction of measures taken unilaterally by some States to preserve their territorial seas from pollution. Mention is also made of proposals following the recommendation of the United Nations Conference (Stockholm 1972) on control of radioactive pollution from nuclear surface ships and submarines

Abstract (French)

Le theme de la lutte contre les pollutions radioactives et les transformations du droit de la mer est traite a partir des travaux elabores par la troisieme Conference des Nations Unies sur le droit de la mer. Les mesures envisagees ont pour objectif de reconnaitre aux Etats les competences et les pouvoirs necessaires a la protection du milieu marin face aux abus pratiques. Le rapport souligne egalement que, d'apres les propositions faites a la session de Caracas en 1974 et a celle de Geneve en 1975, la renovation du droit de la mer sera marquee par un renforcement des droits et des pouvoirs des Etats cotiers et par la consecration des mesures prises unilateralement par certains d'entre eux pour preserver leur mer territoriale de la pollution. Sont enfin mentionnees, les propositions presentees a la suite de la Recommendation de la Conference des Nations Unies (Stockholm, Juin 1972) relative au controle de la pollution radioactive emanant des navires de surface et des sous-marins nucleaires
