In explaining these types of pollution, various conventions concluded under the auspices of the IMO (such as MARPOL 73/78 and the 1972 London Convention) and soft law documents are analyzed. The Volume also includes chapters on the conventions relating to pollution incident preparedness, response, cooperation, and the relevance of regional cooperation. This Volume additionally discusses liability and compensation for pollution damage.
The second part of Volume II, dedicated to Maritime Security law, includes chapters dealing with piracy; stowaways; human trafficking; illicit drugs; terrorism; military uses of the sea; and new maritime security threats.
