This book advocates pursuing a regional approach to nuclear risk
framework, which it argues is more promising in the current
scenario than the non-achievable global regime. In the development
of international legislation on liability, the nuclear energy
sector represents an alternative approach to a transboundary
liability regime. Building on this foundation and following the
Chernobyl accident, international consensus was sought for a
stronger transboundary legal regime in the event of a nuclear
disaster. However, after sixty years of the existence of
international nuclear liability laws and twenty-five years after
Chernobyl, the primary objectives of the Conventions -
harmonization and a global regime - remain unfulfilled. Further,
many countries are now creating or expanding nuclear programs
without adequate transboundary legal protection. In light of these
issues, a regional approach is an option that cannot be ignored.
Given its rapidly expanding nuclear energy footprint, South Asia is
in a unique position to adopt a regional mechanism. The methodology
adopted for the study in the book combines a literature review of
international law on nuclear liability with an analysis of South
Asian nuclear energy programs and their international and national
legal obligations. A technical risk assessment study conducted to
identify the level of transboundary nuclear risk within South Asia
is also presented. This is followed by interviews with experts and
policymakers to gauge the willingness of the South Asian
Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) community to respond
to this shared regional concern.
