| Description | Convention on Civil Liability for Damage Resulting from Activities Dangerous to the Environment (Lugano Convention) fulfills the Priciples 22 and 36 of the Declaration of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment held in Stockholm in 1972. Along with other international treaties that are analyzed from the environmental damage definition point of view, it expresses the unification effort in field of the civil liability for environmental damage. Even though those international legal instruments offer very advanced regulation, states are reluctant to ratify them. The reason is considered to be a very broad definition of environmental damage and resentment of states to oblidge the operators of dangerous activities, that are perceived to be socially beneficial at the same time, to pay damages that may lead to closing of those operations. |
