Abstract

This chapter contains a detailed review of international, regional and bilateral law of relevance to site contamination, whilst noting that no binding international instrument exists on the issue. There is a particular focus on legal and policy developments in the areas of environmental protection, soil protection, chemicals and hazardous waste, state responsibility and civil liability. Comparisons and lessons are drawn from this review so as to inform the discussion of a possible international approach to site contamination in later chapters.
