This book examines the role of The International Maritime
Organization (IMO) in the prevention and control of pollution of
the marine environment from vessels with a particular reference to
the current north-south tensions regarding the strategy for
combating climate change in the maritime sector as well as the
prevention of marine pollution from the ship-breaking industry. The
IMO, a United Nations specialized agency, has been entrusted with
the duty to provide machinery for cooperation among governments for
the prevention and control of pollution of the marine environment
from vessels. The organization is responsible for drafting legal
instruments as well as for facilitating technical cooperation for
the protection of the marine environment. Although IMO legal
instruments are mainly targeted at the prevention of pollution of
the marine environment from vessels, there is a trend towards a
liberal interpretation of this, and the organization has expanded
its work to areas like shipbreaking, which is essentially a
land-based industry.
