Ho Jeong Dan – författare

This book provides a timely analysis of the limitations of existing international legal frameworks for solving the problem of marine litter. Ho Jeong Dan expertly examines international law principles related to allocating responsibility for marine litter and proposes a plan to combat the issue effectively.Dan asserts that a significant hurdle towards managing the issue of marine litter is that of defining responsibility. The book highlights the complexity of attributing responsibility for marine litter due to its mobile and transboundary nature, emphasising the importance of international cooperation. Dan explores both theoretical and practical dimensions of the issue and draws on this analysis to inform possible solutions. Overall, the book sets forth how new legally binding international treaties could be drafted, in order to directly regulate marine litter and safeguard marine ecosystems and human well-being on an international scale.Environmental Damage Caused by Marine Litter is a fundamental resource for researchers, academics and students of environmental law, maritime law, ocean law and public international law. Policymakers, legal practitioners, NGOs and governing bodies will also benefit from the book’s practical recommendations.
