INTERNATIONAL LEGAL FRAMEWORKS FOR REGULATING LAND-BASED MARINE POLLUTION: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF GLOBAL AND REGIONAL APPROACHES, DISPUTES AND SETTLEMENT MECHANISMS

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Land-based sources are the primary contributors to ocean pollution, posing significant risks to marine ecosystems and human health, as exemplified by Minamata disease caused by mercury contamination. A thriving marine environment is essential for the prosperity of coastal cities. However, despite existing international legal frameworks, stronger regulations remain necessary to effectively control land-based marine pollution. Governments often hesitate to impose strict limits on land-based industries, making legal strategies that constrain state actions crucial for environmental protection. Regional agreements have emerged as potential solutions, offering regulatory approaches tailored to specific economic, social, and political contexts.
