| dc.description | The Study reviews a number of existing and draft legal instruments, and further, offers a general assessment of the common features and trends in the existing civil liability and compensation regimes. As the Review shows, there are numerous legal instruments - MEAs, regional environmental agreements, national laws, soft law instruments, and judicial precedents - which are concerned with apportionment of liability and compensation caused by damaging activities - whether these be caused to natural resources, human health, or to property. | en_US |
