摘要
This chapter further analyses international conventions’ bills on the subject that have not entered into force. It uses the concept of normative integration as a methodological approach, critically assessing the interaction between the law of the sea, maritime law, environmental law and human rights law in the field of study. Contributions from maritime law have been focused on safety measures and monetary compensation of damage as a response to maritime disasters through different international conventions. Environmental law has caused a paradigm shift with the introduction of the precaution principle in Rio Declaration. As regards Law of the Sea, ITLOS has concluded that the precaution principle is a hard law principle. Human Rights Internartional Law contributions will also be studied. Finally, the Offshore Protocol to the Barcelona Convention will be analysed.
