Contemporary regulation of marine living resources and pollution. Essays written by and in honour of

Beschrijving

Over het boekBetween 2001 and 2002 the Maritime Institute of the Universiteit Gent and the Centre for International Law of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel joined efforts and hosted Emeritus Professor Dermott Devine as holder of the International Francqui Chair, around the central themes of fisheries and coastal state jurisdiction with respect to marine pollution. As Emeritus Director of the Institute of Marine and Environmental Law, Professor Devine was available for discussion and participation in the scientific life of the different Belgian universities having similar fields of interest. Within this context six classes of excellence were organized with the participation of interested Belgian colleagues across the board, belonging to universities adhering to different basic philosophies and even forming part of different linguistic communities. These classes culminated in a final symposium where Professor Devine gave a birds-eye view of the general theme, overarching and synthesizing the different subjects covered during the previous classes of excellence.This book offers a reworked compilation of all the contributions of the key-note speakers to the classes of excellence.Uit de inhoudInternational law regulation of marine living resources and pollution contemporary issuesDermott Devine i. introductionii. fisheries lawiii. marine pollutioniv. concluding remarks South africa39;s exclusive economic zone boundary issuesDeborah Hamman i.
