https://doi.org/10.24833/0869-0049-2009-2-90-100
Abstract
International law has always recognized that its basic principle of territorial integrity cannot completely safeguard a State from physical damage originating outside of its borders. The principal response of international law has been to impose liability on a State guilty of causing damage and to accord adequate reparation to the injured State. For these purposes it is necessary to define transboundary damage in international law.
