During its work, the TLC has increasingly focused on transboundary environmental damage. Thus, the project may have considerable impact on the further development of this area of international law. This article analyzes the bask concepts of the project which have emerged so far. It assesses the political feasibility of the project in the light of the current state of international law concerning liability for environmental damage, given that a number of specific ultra-hazardous activities are already regulated by multilateral liability regimes. It concludes that the international community has increasingly accepted the obligation to regulate liability issues, which has improved the chances for victims to mount successful claims. However, this does not mean that states were prepared to compensate for transboundary environmental damage.}, language = {en} } @book{JachtenfuchsGehring, author = {Jachtenfuchs, Markus and Gehring, Thomas}, title = {Haftung und Umwelt : Interessenkonflikte im internationalen Weltraum-, Atom- und Seerecht.}, publisher = {Peter Lang}, address = {Frankfurt am Main [u.a.]}, isbn = {978-3-631-40341-9}, pages = {296}, abstract = {Multilaterale Regelungen zur Haftung f{\"u}r Umweltsch{\"a}den im Weltraum-, Atom- und Seerecht sind nicht nur statische V{\"o}lkerrechtsnormen, sondern auch Produkte eines Prozesses der Interessendurchsetzung.

Bislang {\"u}bernehmen Staaten nur dann v{\"o}lkerrechtliche Haftpflicht, wenn dies zur Durchsetzung eigener Interessen dient (Raumfahrt,Atomenergie). Im Regelfall versuchen sie dagegen, die risikoschaffende Industrie zur Haftung heranzuziehen. Sie haben daf{\"u}r wegweisende Modelle entwickelt ({\"O}lhaftungsfonds). Diese Untersuchung des Entstehungsprozesses der wichtigsten Umwelthaftungskonventionen bildet schließlich die Grundlage f{\"u}r die Beurteilung des Vorhabens der ILC zur Haftung f{\"u}r Sch{\"a}den durch v{\"o}lkerrechtlich nicht verbotene Aktivit{\"a}ten.}, language = {de} }
