Chernobyl - on the problem of indemnification under international law

Creators

Description

The author treats compensation problems relating to public international law after the nuclear accident in Chernobyl, especially the problems of damage and the causal link between damage and reactor accident. The intensive discussion of international law against the further operation of RBMK-type reactors in the Soviet Union is more urgent than the compensation problems. (WG)

Abstract (German)

Der Autor behandelt die voelkerrechtliche Wiedergutmachungsproblematik nach dem Nuklearunfall in Tschernobyl, insbesondere die Probleme des Schadens und des Kausalzusammenhanges zwischen Schaden und Reaktorunfall. Die intensive Auseinandersetzung mit voelkerrechtlichen Unterlassungsanspruechen gegen den weiteren Betrieb von RBMK-Reaktoren in der Sowjetunion erscheint jedoch vordringlicher als die Schadensersatzproblematik.
