Responsabilidade internacional do estado por danos transfronteiriços decorrentes de atividades nucleares

Abstract

The main objective of this monograph is to describe and analyze the legal regime of international liability of the State for transboundary damages arising from the activities of nuclear power plants, as well as to understand the limits and challenges of its application. In order to do so, it is necessary to delineate the main aspects of the legal regime of international responsibility of the States, to analyze the concepts of responsibility of prevention and the responsibility of the State in case of a nuclear accident that causes transboundary damages. It is also necessary to describe the international safeguards regime for nuclear power plant activities and to demonstrate the (lack of) international responsibility for nuclear accidents occurring based on the Chernobyl nuclear accident.
