Sažetak
The book examines the specific international regimes of oil pollution liability and compensation, covering damages resulting from oil spills from tankers. The first Chapter is devoted to the oil pollution from ships in general, with an emphasis on the necessity of international unification of legislation for both the victim of pollution and the party liable for its occurrence. The second Chapter provides a summary of the fundamental features of the 1969 Civil Liability Convention and the 1971 Fund Convention. The third Chapter deals with the amendments of the ''old'' regime. For this reason, the author elaborates on the most significant provisions of the 1992 Conventions, pointing out the differences between the ''old'' and the ''new'' regime. The fourth Chapter examines the oil pollution laws of the USA, which has not accepted the international convention system. The fifth Chapter deals with the analysis of the admissible claims for pollution damage in accordance with the Conventions. In the sixth Chapter the author elaborates on the liability regime regulated by the Croatian maritime legislation. She analyses the provisions of the Maritime Code, which have been adjusted to the 1992 Convention. Finally, Chapter seven provides an overview of a number of problems related to the application of the two liability regimes, and gives an insight into the future of the international oil pollution system. The author concludes that the presented oil pollution compensation regime has contributed enormously to the protection of the marine environment. The book is written clearly and systematically. We recommend it not only to the maritime lawyers, but also to everyone involved in a practical way with the carriage of oil by sea.
