This title focuses on liability for damage to those natural
resources that are of interest to the public and are protected by
national, European or international law. It provides an overview of
the law of the United States and of certain EU member states on the
recovery of damages for injury to natural resources. The
international civil liability conventions that cover environmental
harm and the recently published European Commission's White Paper
on environmental liability are also discussed. The on-going
development in various international forums of treaties or
protocols dealing with liability for environmental damage are
analyzed, as are the principles developed by the UNEP Working Group
established in response to the 1990 Gulf War to advise the UNCC on
claims for damage to natural resources.;The book addresses
assessment and valuation issues, the issue of standing in cases of
injury to (un)owned natural resources, and the determination of
ways to repair, restore and compensate for natural resource
injuries and the associated loss of ecological and human services.
It also explains why such a difference exists between the US and
most European jurisdictions and inter-national liability
conventions as to the recovery of damages for injury to natural
resources.
Providing an overview of the various legal responses to conflicts
involving the use of water resources, this text analyzes the
continuous development of water law in the face of new threats of

of Water, International, European and National Legal Aspects" held
at the faculty of Law of the Erasmus University, Rotterdam in
October 1995. It contains a selection papers presented at the
conference and several additional contributions on the issues of
water law and policy.
