International Liability for Environmental Harm Project

Beschreibung

Workshop 2:
International standards for national environmental liability norms – obstacles and potential for the development of a transnational environmental standard of care
(responsibility: Prof. Dr. Kirsten Schmalenbach, Dr. Peter Gailhofer,).

The underlying thesis of our workshop is that the greatest potential for development in international environmental liability currently does not lie in international treaty law but in the mutually reinforcing dynamics of international principles on the one hand and in the extraterritorial legal practice of states on the other hand. To address explore this potential we want to discuss a range of issues and options in two subsequent segments of the workshop, the first will approach the topic from the perspective of international environmental law while the second segment will be centred on national tort laws.
